Preparation
Step 1
In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs, flour, mustard, garlic powder, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Place panko in another shallow bowl. Season fish all over with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Into a large heavy skillet, pour oil to a depth of 1/4". Heat over medium heat until a deep-fry or instant-read thermometer registers 350°. Coat each piece of fish with egg mixture, then dip into panko, gently pressing to adhere.
Step 3
Fry fish, turning halfway through, until golden brown and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; season with salt.
Step 4
Top bottom buns with slice of American cheese, then fried fish. Spread tartar sauce on top of fish. Close sandwiches and serve with more tartar sauce alongside.
