Instructions
- In a shallow dish, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- In a second shallow dish, whisk together the egg and milk.
- Dip each fish fillet into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and back into the flour mixture to ensure an even coating.

- Spread a tablespoon of tartar sauce on the bottom half of each bun.
- Place a fried fish fillet on top of the tartar sauce.
- Top the fish fillet with a lettuce leaf and a couple of tomato slices.

Tips
- For a healthier version, you can bake the fish fillets in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until crispy and cooked through.
- You can also add pickles or onions for extra crunch and flavor.
- For the best taste, use fresh white fish like cod, haddock, or tilapia.
