Make a traditional Bahama fish seasoning by blending 2 tablespoons of salt with diced chili.

Season the hogfish fillets on both sides and set aside.

Prepare a wet mixture of egg and evaporated milk.

Prepare a dry mixture of equal parts all-purpose flour and corn starch with about a half teaspoon of crushed black peppercorns.

Dredge the fillets by dipping them in the wet mixture, then into the dry mixture, and set aside.

Fry the dredged fillets until golden and crispy.

Prepare the tartar sauce by mixing 2 cups of mayo, 2 teaspoons of dijon mustard, dill pickles, sweet relish, capers, yellow bell pepper, juice of half a lemon, and crushed tri-colored peppers.

Assemble the sandwich by spreading tartar sauce on the homemade coconut bread, adding romaine lettuce, the fried hogfish fillet, a slice of tomato, and pickled red onions, finishing with pepper sauce.
