What a fish sandwich may lack in glamor, they make up for in personality.
They are also a fresh, light alternative to our would-be umpteenth burger of the summer. Whether beef, turkey, or veggie are your go-to, there’s no good reason (besides the obvious vegetarian/vegan diet thing) to not throw a little seafood into the mix. Also, few things can make cucumber and dill shine the way fish can — and if salmon is your thing, that would be splendid here too. (As always, let’s check seafoodwatch.org first and all that. Over here, Pacific cod from the Gulf of Alaska and Aleutian Islands/Bering Sea is generally a sustainable choice.)
