Fred Roberts was the founder of Roberts Public Market, a Santa Monica based chain of grocery and liquor stores started in the late 1920s. He sold the chain to Fitzsimmons Stores in 1949 ( Los Angeles Times, October 21, 1949) and began planning his retirement home. The Western Australian Rock Lobster (Panulirus cygnus) is found primarily on the West Coast of Australia. Not normally available in the United States as a live product, you’ll find them swimming in our saltwater tanks today, for a limited time. Make your Mother’s Day reservations for Sunday, May 12 and give mom the day she deserves - with the people and seafood she loves the most. Here are 10 versions of the classic (including a plant-based sandwich!), made by independently run small businesses, who do it a lot better than the original.

Traces of the Williams' designed landscape, fish pond and the grassy area overlooking the creek remain, looking like a "life-sized blueprint" of the original home. (National Park Service. Soltice Canyon) Serene and beautiful the area is a favorite circuit for hikers. Taken for pictorial spreads published in major design magazines including Architectural Digest (volume 14 issue 1), these photos can only hint at the fantastical results of the Roberts and Williams collaboration. The couple were active partners with Williams in the design of their Malibu home. Their many ideas for how their dream house should be built and decorated were incorporated into the final product. The architect worked closely with Florence advising her on color and fabric selection and much of the furniture was custom built for the home.

The slabs of cod are dredged in fresh panko and fried like they are in fish and chips, with a crisp, shaggy coating. A skirt of melted cheddar and white American cheeses sits atop the fish, holding the strips together. Globs of tartar sauce that taste like the stuff of your youth — creamy, classic and piquant — ooze out of every crevice. And a heap of slivered pickled onions cuts through the richness of the fish batter and all that cheese. This is a superb fish sandwich that requires two hands and a stack of napkins. She, along with Niki Vahle and Forrest Florsheim, run Little Fish, an Echo Park pop-up that specializes in fried fish.
Love Hour Friday Fish Filet Sandwich, $8
The three worked together at Son of a Gun restaurant and launched the pop-up during the pandemic. Their sandwich is served in a boxed lunch with a side (when I visited, it was pasta salad) and a bag of Zapp’s potato chips. Its base is a piece of Pacific striped bass marinated in shio koji before it’s battered in a mixture of beer, rice flour, all-purpose flour and vodka, and then fried. The batter is on the thicker side, craggy and bronze, but remarkably light and airy, with a slightly nutty, caramelized flavor.
The fish is catfish or red snapper (your choice), breaded in what tastes like a mix of cornmeal, flour and plenty of black pepper. It mimics the coating on very good fried chicken and keeps the filet both moist and intact. It’s layered simply on a squishy bun with a slice of tomato and crisp iceberg lettuce. And the fish gets a drizzle of tartar sauce and herby ranch dressing, which makes perfect sense the moment you try it.

Filet Mignon and South African Lobster Tail with your choice of sides, and a dessert. “I thought this could be done so much better, then I started developing the breading for it,” he adds.

Piskoulian’s bun is a buttery brioche/hamburger bun hybrid that he slathers with garlic and herb butter and toasts. While all the components are excellent, the architecture of the sandwich is key. The slice of cheese goes on the bottom, so it isn’t glued to the fish. And the tartar sauce — on the top and bottom of the fish — adds acid and moisture to every bite. The Fish Burger at this Westlake restaurant is more like three perfectly fried, giant fish sticks, shoved into a very good brioche bun.

But its popularity now is fueled partly by an emphasis on alternative forms of protein and partly by a collective need to eat comforting foods during perilous times. Chef-owner Armen Piskoulian says he ate and dissected a couple of Filet-O-Fish sandwiches before developing his own, which he introduced to the menu at his Melrose Avenue bakery and restaurant in February. Solstice Canyon along with the remains of the Roberts Ranch homesite became a public park in 1988 managed by the National Park Service.
It’s noticeably denser than a piece of white fish, battered in panko so that it tastes like a giant fish stick. A slice of vegan American cheese blankets the filet, which is crowned with a heap of shredded lettuce and rough chopped raw onion. Beleaf is generous with the tartar sauce, made with vegan mayonnaise, and the golden toasted bun is a dead ringer for the ones you’ll find at In-N-Out. Piskoulian soaks his Atlantic cod filets in buttermilk, then coats them in breadcrumbs before frying.
The pale yellow concoction is full of roughly chopped egg sharpened with a hit of yuzu kosho. For an extra punch of acid, Namba adds slivers of yuzu daikon pickles. Wally Vu and his partners at the Beleaf restaurants grew up on what he calls “suburban food culture.” And, yes, they ate a lot of McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish sandwiches. The entire menu at their plant-based operation, with locations in Chino Hills and Stanton, is an attempt to create vegan takes on nostalgic fast-food favorites. And the Go Fish Fillet sandwich has been a staple since they opened their first location in Chino Hills in May 2019.
Chef Aaron Lopez beer-batters and fries filets of tilapia and builds the sandwich with a slice of American cheese, the fish and a creamy tartar sauce packed with fresh dill on a Martin’s potato roll. It’s similar in both flavor and texture to the original, only better. The sandwich is officially available until April 4 but Pak said he plans to put it on the menu once Love Hour opens its first bricks-and-mortar location. Namba uses buns from Röckenwagner Bakery and wild, locally sourced rock cod that gets the karaage treatment (breaded in rice flour, AP flour and panko and deep-fried). It’s topped with a slice of American cheese, something Kaplan says is simply non-negotiable on a fish sandwich. And the tartar sauce could be a respectable sandwich filling on its own.
A slice of just melted American cheese sits on top with sliced Grillo’s pickles, and it’s all layered on a Martin’s potato roll dressed with plenty of Kewpie mayonnaise. We seem to have emerged from the Fried Chicken Sandwich ecosphere only to enter an era of another fried protein in bun. Fried fish sandwiches oozing with tartar sauce are crowding my social media feeds in a way that simply can’t be ignored. Most are inspired by a specific style of fish sandwich, steeped in comfort, with origins that can be traced back to two famous golden arches. Sometimes, it feels as if the forces of the universe are conspiring to create a food of the moment. In 1952, grocer Fred Roberts and his wife Florence commissioned Paul R. Williams to design a modern home for them at their family ranch at Solstice Canyon in Malibu.
