A Fried Flying Fish Sandwich is a mouthwatering creation that combines the crispy texture of fried flying fish with the softness of a fresh bun.

The fish is first marinated in a flavorful blend of herbs and spices, such as garlic, thyme, and paprika, before being coated in a light and crispy batter.

It is then deep-fried to perfection, resulting in a golden brown and crunchy exterior.
