I wasn't a fish eater growing up ever since a traumatizing happening in first grade, when I found a fish bone in a fish stick at lunch. My Oma and Mama also never cooked it for my sister and I because they didn't like it themselves, so it's just not something I was exposed to much growing up.
I didn't become a fish eater again until my early twenties when I started working at nice restaurants while going to college in the United States. And I am so thankful that my tastebuds changed! I now try to incorporate fish or seafood into our diet once a week, which is even more essential now that I am expecting and really need those extra nutrients for mine and baby's well being.
Sitka Salmon Shares makes it super easy to keep up with the fish routine as they ship subscription boxes of sustainably caught, flash-frozen Alaskan fish directly to your doorstep. I've been super impressed with their fish and always get excited and inspired when a box shows up! It's definitely helps us eat more fish and we have loved the recipe recommendations that Sitka Salmon Shares sends out every month! Eating fish never gets boring!
AD: I recently started supporting Sitka Salmon Shares, a small-boat fishermen owned partnership to support Alaskan sustainably sourced fish like salmon and cod. Small-boat fisheries, which are usually family-owned businesses, where hit incredibly hard during the current coronavirus pandemic, given that their primary sources of income (export to China and supplying national and international restaurants) almost completely fell off. They offer seafood subscription services that range in size and content and help provide a stable income. Support them by trying a box now at $25 off when you use code ‘DIRNDL’ at checkout (Taste of Fall Share is NOT included).
For today's German fish sandwich, I pan-fried some breaded cod and served with with some refreshing lettuce leaves and a delicious, homemade remoulade sauce made with apples, eggs and pickles on toasted brioche buns. If you have time to make the Weizenbrötchen from my last post to serve these on, that would be THE way to go though! I have some waiting in my freezer to be baked, now I just need my oven to work again (it broke 4 weeks ago and I am starting to go mad without my Brot and Brötchen!).

Fischbrötchen: German Cod Sandwiches
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 4 cornichon pickles
- ½ apple not too sweet
- 2 tablespoon mayo
- 100 g whole milk Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon pickle juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- ¼ c chopped, fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoon milk
- 40 g flour
- 40 g breadcrumbs
- 2 cod fillets
- 40 g butter
- 2 brioche rolls also great are my Weizenbrötchen if you have time to make them!
- 2 large leaves of butter lettuce
Instructions
- Boil one egg until hard and peel while running cold water over it. Finely dice with some cornichons (I used 4 small cornichons). Remove core and finely dice half the apple. Combine mayo, yogurt, pickle juice, lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper. Chop the parsley and stir in.
- Whisk the egg with some milk and salt and transfer to a deep plate or shallow bowl. Pour some flour and some breadcrumbs onto two separate plates. Dust the fish in flour, then coat in the egg mixture and finally coat in the breadcrumbs. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook the fish for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a clean plate covered in paper towel.
- Half the rolls and lightly toast them in the skillet or in a toaster. Add some lettuce to the bottom of the roll, then add the fish, then the remoulade sauce and close the sandwich with the second half of the roll. Serve the remaining remoulade sauce on the side.
