SANDWICH ASSEMBLY:

  • Place 24 bottom portions of hamburger buns on each sheet pan, 4 down and 6 across.
  • Place the cooked fish patties on each bun.
  • Cover each sandwich with the top portion of the bun.
  • Fish Sandwiches may also be wrapped in deli paper, waxed paper, foil sheets, plastic wrap, or placed in sandwich bags.
  • Place each Fish Sandwich in a steamtable pan (12" x 20" x 2½") lined with pan liners.
  • Prepare the Fish Sandwiches in batches to maintain quality.

Serve immediately, or cover the pan with a lid, foil or plastic wrap. If foil or plastic wrap is used, cut holes in it to allow steam to escape. Place the pan in warmer until ready for service.

CCP: Cover and hold for service at 135 degrees F or higher.

5.

Portion one sandwich per serving. Each portion provides 2 oz. eq. meat/meat alternate and 3 oz. eq. whole grains.

CCP: Hold and maintain the product at a minimum temperature of 135 degrees F or higher. Check temperature every 30 minutes. Unassembled leftovers should be covered, labeled, and dated. Quick chill within 2 hours to 70 degrees F or lower and from 70 to 41 degrees F or lower within an additional 4 hours. Leftover assembled sandwiches do not have good quality when reheated. For best quality, assembled sandwiches should be discarded.
