Method
For the sauce, combine all the ingredients together in a bowl.
Cut the fish fillet into squares that are approximately 3x3 inches. Dredge the seasoned fish pieces in Maida. Combine the egg, mayonnaise and mustard together. Dip the fish in this mixture and then coat with breadcrumbs.
Fry in oil until golden brown, around 4-6 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish pieces.
Spread butter on both halves of the burger bun. Toast until golden brown.
Assemble the burger with the cheese slice, the fried fish patty and then the tartar sauce on top.
