This recipe for fish burger on raisin brioche bun is a treasured memory from a trip to Bermuda in 2016. William was barely a year and a half old, \u00c9loi was still in mommy’s belly, and we were in a small local snack bar restaurant. I saw this STRANGE sandwich on the menu all week, RAISIN brioche bun + fried fish + tartar sauce, and I thought the combination sounded frankly weird. On my last day there, I finally dared to try it. First bite, mind blown: the sweetness of the raisins with the crispy fried fish and the tangy tartar sauce, it’s an unlikely trio but perfectly balanced. It became an obsession. Back in Quebec, I did research, tests, and finally reproduced my homemade version. Faithful to the legendary Bermuda fish sandwich, but with my own touch.<\/p>\n
First element: the homemade RAISIN BRIOCHE BUN. It’s the heart of the recipe, what sets this burger apart from everything you’ve ever eaten. The cinnamon in the dough and the raisins integrated directly (not soaked) give a sweet-spicy bread that contrasts beautifully with the saltiness of the fried fish. You can try with store-bought brioche, but it won’t be the same thing. Second element: the complete homemade TARTAR SAUCE with sweet relish, capers, shallot and fresh dill. The fresh acidity perfectly balances the richness of the frying. Third element: the BEER BATTER. Unibroue’s Blonde de Chambly gives a light and crispy batter, but any strong Belgian-style blonde beer does the job. And for frying, aim for precisely 180\u00b0C (350\u00b0F) with an oil thermometer. Without that, you’re playing roulette.<\/p>\n
This fish burger on raisin brioche bun is exactly the kind of recipe for entertaining friends that leaves a lasting impression. Not a weeknight recipe. It’s a recipe that requires effort (making the bread, making the sauce, doing the frying), so save it for a Saturday night when you want to impress or to treat yourself to something completely out of the ordinary. Guests will think I’m crazy when you explain the combo to them, but at the first bite, they’ll understand. Practical tip: prepare the brioche buns in advance or the day before (they freeze well too). On the day, you only need to make the tartar sauce and do the frying for spectacular service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
