Fish Burger

Fish burger at Kababees

Our Fish Burger is a delightful ocean-inspired twist on the classic burger, perfect for those who love a good fish fry. It features a crispy fried fish fillet as the “patty” – we use a mild white fish like tilapia, batter it in a seasoned coating, and fry it until golden brown and crunchy. The fillet is sizable and fits the bun well, giving you a hearty portion of fish in each sandwich. We dress the bun with traditional fixings that complement fish. Typically, the bottom bun gets a slather of tangy tartar sauce (loaded with diced pickles, herbs, and lemon for that classic zing). Then we place the hot fried fish fillet on top. A slice of American cheese often goes on the fish – in true fish burger fashion – melting slightly from the heat and adding a gentle creamy note. On top of that, we layer crisp lettuce (usually shredded for texture), and optionally a tomato slice for juiciness and extra color. The top bun also receives a smear of tartar or a bit of creamy dill mayo, then it’s all assembled into a satisfying sandwich.

The Fish Burger is a treat for the taste buds. Bite in, and you’ll first encounter the crackle of the fried fish crust, then the tender flakiness of the fish itself, followed by the cool lettuce and rich sauce. The tang of the tartar sauce is key – it cuts through the richness of the fried fish and cheese, keeping the flavor balanced and not overly heavy. Even if you’re not typically a fish-lover, this burger could win you over because it doesn’t have an overly “fishy” taste; tilapia is quite mild, and the main flavors you get are the delicious seasoned breading and the condiments.

Our Fish Burger might remind you of a certain famous fast-food fish sandwich, but ours is larger, fresher, and crafted with halal ingredients and care. It’s the kind of comfort food that seafood fans appreciate, and it provides a nice change of pace from beef or chicken. We’ve had customers who don’t eat meat (only fish) tell us it’s exactly what they’ve been missing – and meat-eaters try it and say they enjoyed the break from the usual. As with all our burgers, you can customize it: extra cheese, no lettuce, add jalapeños, a squirt of sriracha – however you like.

Served with a side of fries and perhaps a squeeze of lemon on the fish, the Fish Burger makes for a fully satisfying meal. It’s relatively lighter than a beef burger, yet still indulgent and filling. Many people enjoy it during a Friday lunch (fish on Fridays, anyone?) or when they want that fried satisfaction without red meat. And for those who observe religious dietary separations (like not mixing meat and dairy or avoiding meat on certain days), this burger is a fantastic option.

If you enjoy fish and chips or fish sandwiches in general, you’ll likely love our Fish Burger. It’s exactly what you’d hope for: crispy, flavorful fish with melty cheese and tangy sauce on a soft bun. Sometimes simple is best, and this burger hits that simple, nostalgic note perfectly. We like to think it’s a little taste of the seaside available right here at Kababees. Give it a try – a lot of customers have found a new favorite in this humble, delicious sandwich.

(Insider tip: Ask for a side of our vinegary coleslaw and put a little in the burger – it adds crunch and an extra tang that pairs wonderfully with the fried fish. We won’t tell anyone your secret to the ultimate fish burger!)
