Chili Fish & French Fry Cheese Melts
We are Gorton’s Ambassadors. All views expressed are that of our own.
Cheese is my all time favorite food ever. When they say cheese makes everything better, they were surely not kidding. I can not think of one meal where cheese couldn’t add some extra flavor and texture.
Ok, so maybe something like pancakes wouldn’t work, but a quick meal like these Chili Fish & French Fry Cheese Melts do! The slightly sweet and spicy flavor of the Gorton’s Go Saucy! Chili paired with the tender, flaky, and crunchy pollock is a match made in foodie heaven. Toss in two melty cheeses, crispy french fries, and scallions for a tasty sandwich.
With our hectic moving date approaching quickly, spending time in my kitchen is not top of mind. I have been living on salads, sandwiches, and quick service meals. Peeling potatoes, and using my oven for longer meals is just not in my cards as of lately. Once I get settled in my new kitchen though-watch out! My cooking game will be back on!
I am already dreaming of all the meals and  I will be making- fresh apple pie anyone?
For now, quick meals are a must and brands like Gorton’s Seafood make this easy! Their vast selection of seafood products make preparing warm meals easy peasy! I love how I can purchase their Gorton’s Go Saucy! seafood products and use them in meals like Buffalo Shrimp Tacos, or these Chili Fish & French Fry Cheese Melts.Â
The Gorton’s Go Saucy! line features 3 products – Wild-Caught Tail off Buffalo Shrimp, Wild-Caught Pollock Tenders with Honey Mustard Sauce, and Wild-Caught Pollock Tenders with Sweet Chili Sauce.
Each take less than 25 mins to prepare and are so good! Actually, this might just be one of my favorite seafood lines from Gorton’s!
So how did I come up with these Chili Fish & French Fry Cheese Melts you wonder?
Well, the answer is pretty simple- I used what I had on hand. Wanting to be creative, but also conscious of what I had in my fridge- I decided to make this beautiful concoction of a sandwich.
I had extra cheese on hand, scallions (I always use these), kalamata olive loaf, and sweet potato fries.
We are all about the sweet and savory in this house so why not add all these tasty foods into one easy to eat sandwich melt?

Chili Fish & French Fry Cheese Melts
Ingredients
- 1 box Gorton's Go Saucy! Sweet Chili Cook according to instructions for conventional oven
- 6 slices Jalapeno Jack cheese cut at 1/4" from a block cheese
- 6 slices Sharp Cheddar cut at 1/4" from a block cheese
- 1 tablespoon scallions chopped
- 8 slices kalamata olive bread ciabatta bread also will work well

Instructions
- Pre-Heat oven according the the instructions for the Gorton's Go Saucy product (425 degrees f.). Arrange fish pieces on baking tray alongside french fries. Flip halfway through baking. Meanwhile, line 4 slices of bread with cheese slices. I formed a triangle with the slices to ensure all the bread was covered. Sprinkle each slice with green onion. Once fish and fries are done. Turn off the oven, and line the sandwiches with the fries and fish. Drizzle the Sweet Chili Sauce (included with Gortons Go Saucy! products) over the fish pieces. Cover bread, and places sandwiches on the baking tray Bake using the residual oven heat for 3-5 mins or until cheese is bubbly and melty. Serve warm & enjoy!
