Istanbul's Famous Mackerel Sandwich
When I was studying abroad in Turkey, I often ate this when I missed Japanese food. I always ate it while looking out over the Bosphorus Strait and feeling the salty sea breeze.
I never had to make it myself while I was there, I would just buy it from the stands along the beach.
You should use the most delicious batard bread that you can get your hands on.
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Season both sides of the mackerel with plenty of salt and pepper and coat it in a thin layer of flour (or cornstarch).
* Step 2
Heat some olive oil up in a frying pan, add the mackerel, and cook until both sides are browned and crispy.
* Step 3
Slice the onion and tomato into rings and lightly toast the bread in an oven.
* Step 4
Cut the bread in half and make a deep horizontal slice in each piece. (Don't cut all the way through.)
* Step 5
Open up the bread and add the mackerel, onion, and tomato. Sprinkle plenty of lemon juice over the top.
* Step 6
Your sandwich is done! Try adding in a little Italian parsley too if you feel like it.
