The defaultfish sandwichin America is a slab of heavily processed mystery seafood, breaded and deep fried, bathed in a tartar-like sauce, and stuffed into an oversize squishy roll.
You end up dropping anywhere between 600 and 800 calories and the better part of the day’s sodium allotment for something that’s supposed to be healthy.
Our fish sandwich replaces processed patties with fresh tilapia fillets, frying with blackening, and tartar sauce withcreamy avocadoand crunchy cabbage.
