  • If you like a crispy chicken cutlet, you will LOVE this crispy fish fillet, shallow-fried in a cast iron skillet and fixed up on a soft roll with a Super Special Tartar Sauce. Because Carla loves vegetarians, she shows you how to do this with fish *and* with tofu. Crunch crunch crunch!!

      I thought the same thing! I was so. excited! And...you can make "buttermilk" out of non-dairy milk - just add lemon juice or vinegar.
      Also, think out that tarter sauce mixture, and marinate the tofu in it for an hour or so - more fish flavor in the tofu.

      Check out It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken also. Doing a marinade for the tofu with lemon and miso will elevate it. Also cutting the tofu (not all the way through) on either side, like you see people do those lattice potatoes, will give the tofu a flakey texture like fish. And adding a layer of nori (seaweed) under the breading will look like fish skin but also give it an umami flavour. itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/tofish-and-chips-vegan-fish-and-chips/#wprm-recipe-container-17705

    I like how you gave a glimpse of the finished product in the beginning. That is cool. The musician on the theme music has skills by the way.

    Ugh Carla, fuck me up with that fish sando! It is the middle of my work day, and I am shattered that I can't drop everything to make this

    I love that you included plant based 🙌🙌 Its so nice to see someone showing that its easy to make plant based food, and its also easy to do both if you have multiple diet preferences under one roof! Thank you!!

    I don't think anyone's ever accused Carla of being shy. Also, I LOVE that she actually said 'tofu has a flavor, but it's mild'. Too many people act like it's this absolutely flavorless thing, but it's not. Great video, and damn glad I was finally suggested one of these (I didn't know there were videos coming out, just occasionally showing up places like BCU).
