Who doesn’t love the taste of the South? While many of us are familiar with barbecue sandwiches loaded with pulled pork, subbing in Tilapia is a great way to make this classic Southern meal not only healthier, but in our opinion, tastier too. Layer on homemade coleslaw and pickle slices and you’ve got a regionally-inspired sandwich that we guarantee will fast become a favorite.
