Unfortunatly, I have to rate this very low. I followed the recipe exactly as it is written and it just was not good. (I used Cod.) Not one of us was able to eat it. The fish was perfectly cooked...just the flavor of the breading was not good. -
I have made this several times now and am just getting around to a rating. This is a wonderful way to make fish! Since I am not a fan of deep-frying and I always have trouble getting coating to stick, I was in search of just such a recipe. So far, I have tried this with catfish and tilapia ~ we preferred the catfish. I don't bother to separate the egg ~ just beat up a whole one. Thanks for posting this ~ it is a keeper for us! -
DH and I really enjoyed this fish. The only substitution I made was due to another reviewer's suggestion- I didn't have any lemon so I used Old Bay seasoning and I spritzed the tops of the fish with cooking spray. This turned out great. It was crunchy and flaky. I highly recommend it. -
This recipe made a really good crunchy coating for fish. I used Old Bay seasoning because I had no lemon rind, and it was still good. Thanks, Carole Reu, for a good alternative to frying!! -
Excellent......really enjoyed this! Easy to make too.
