I love that Old Bay Spice and in combination with lemon & Parmigano-reggiano it is a total winner. I used Basa filets - they were wonderful. However I did modify the recipe a bit. I didn't use any flour - I sprinkled the Old Bay right on the fish. I didn't use any eggs either - I used Panko crumbs (Japanese breadcrumbs) that I mixed with the cheese Thyme & lemon Zest. There were just enough crumbs to give a lovely texture and cut back a bit on the calories. Used a no-oil spray to fry the fish Served with a lemon Wedge. Wonderful dinner thanks to your recipe Kerena
