Don’t let this amazing grilled fish sandwich intimidate you! It is surprisingly easy to make and it cooks up quickly too. It uses bass fish fillets which have a mild, delicate flavor and a tender but firm texture. According to Bon Appetit, the best substitutes are “red snapper, mahi-mahi, and grouper”. You can even use tilapia and it will still taste delicious!
