I grew up watching these ladies, im so happy they're still around! Always phenomenal recipes, never failed me 15 years going strong.

Julia and Bridget: I always enjoy watching what these two women have to say.

Give a man a fish he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, he sits in a boat and drinks beer all day.😂 I do love fish sandwiches too.

I have been searching for the best fish sandwich for years. Making this this week for certain!

[tubenutt]

Thank you for all of your cooking demonstrations over the past 25 years. Congrats on the anniversary. I also like a slice of home grown, right from the store, tomato on my fish sandwiches.

[tinataylor]

I can’t wait to try this! My boys have recently discovered they like fish, so I want to find new ways to serve it & I know they will like this!

[thihal]

Love the tartar sauce!! It all looks delicious.

[dawgg]

Julia, beauty and talent; a dangerous combination!

[Marjoss]

That fork trick just blew my mind, thank you so much for another great video!

[wauliepalnuts]

I learned that fork technique @ 4:53 as a result of this video. I've used it ever since and it's never failed. Thank you!

[martaaberg]

Very happy to have the formula for the batter! Now, what I would love to see is a vid about storing used oils. I don't deep fry much any more because it takes such a lot of oil, and seems such a waste to me. What's the best way to keep it for reuse?

[josephreyes]

Thank you for such an awesome video. Simple clear and concise with information! Love it

[babysag]

I can taste the fish through the video! Excellent, elegant, and simple, the way a sandwich needs to be.

[mddell]

Oh, oh my!
Seriously, y'all, that looks so very good. Mmmm.
I'm so very hungry now.
I'll try to make that exact fish sandwich. 🥪
So looking forward to THAT recipe! Wishing you both a beautiful week. 🇺🇲

A slice of cheese also melts nicely as well.
🧀 😊

[adrenalinehigh]

I love the way she explains the why this and that. Very nice!

[rjjeffreys]

Haddock is absolutely my favourite in a sandwich. Julia and Bridgette make it look even more delicious!

Bridget and Julia are my lifetime top favorite cooking coaches. That little whisk was adorable. Kawaii-yo.
