Any type of fresh fish will make the most deliciously FAB sandwich. Fish, avocado and bacon is a combo that goes back for centuries and I love it with the avocado blitzed into mayonnaise. Crispy smoky bacon and the fresh catch quickly cooked in butter has me licking my lips everytime. The pickled onions give this sandwich the final touch with their slight crunchiness and lovely acid bite.
