Fish is usually the flavour of the day at lunch or dinner, when we think of a fish sandwich we think of a shark and bake. But a great fish sandwich can be much more than shark and bake, and a lot healthier too. Fish sandwiches make great Saturday lunch time meals or quick dinners if you are really in a rush, pair them up with some sweet potato fries and it’s a meal well worth waiting for.
