Vegan Beer Battered Fish Sandwich
Let’s talk vegan sandwiches!
If there is a second food concept besides fish tacos that I was completely enamored with prior to focusing on plant based foods..It was fish and chips!
However, even though the landscape for vegan food products has evolved, the faux fish department remains to be lacking and that goes even for vegan food establishments. The only vegan fish you can find is the store bought frozen variety and that’s packed with so many ingredients that you can easily skip.
So The great thing about a vegan fish sandwich, is that you can easily make it yourself and bonus, it’s so easy!
I know what you’re thinking, tofu? How could it replicate fish? Trust me, when you freeze and thaw the tofu you get a more protein like texture. What about the flavor? By simply marinating the tofu in soy and seaweed, you can derive a seafood like flavor!
What I love about this dish is, everything! Its tofu based making it accessible, affordable, has multiple textures (crispy from the tofu, crunchy from the cabbage), tart from the malt vinegar and tartar sauce, perfect for any season, can be made into sticks, looks just like the real deal, has a slight hint of beer and simply packs tons of flavor!
Why this recipe is great:
Easy
Affordable
Tartar sauce is insanely good!
Non vegan approved
Great aesthetic appeal
Perf for anytime of the year!
Crispy!
Has a real fish flavor!

This looks amazing and I would love to make it, but I’m confused by the recipe. The sandwich assembly occurs in both steps 8 and 11, and there are 2 descriptions of frying the tofu. Step 9 is more detailed than 6, but it doesn’t specify what to do with the flour mixture. I only see using the plain flour to dip it in and then into the vegan egg, milk, and beer. Where does the flour mixture go? Also, I assume you mean slicing the tofu into “blocks” not “books,” right? That threw me off as well.
Thanks!
Hi June! Sorry about that as there was a glitch in the recipe and it was capturing our older version with vegan egg. The recipe is updated now. Please let me know if you have any questions!
