About the dish

Pan con minuta is a Cuban-style sandwich originating from Miami. It's made with a combination of Cuban bread rolls, onions, tomatoes, a tangy tartar sauce, and fish such as snapper that's fried in batter. The unique thing about this sandwich is the minuta part, which refers to the butterfly cut. Once breaded and deep-fried, the fish is placed into the sandwich with its tail intact, so that it sticks out, and it's then topped with chopped tomatoes, onions, and sauce.
