    • About This Recipe

    “Crunchy outside & moist inside, great tasting. Cuts down on frying too. Decorate with Lemon slices. Try serving this fish dish with my “Italian Rice and Peas” You can do this ahead right up to the point of baking just cover and refrigerate the fish until you are ready to cook it.Another variation to this recipe- try using Whole Wheat flour & fry the fish on a non stick pan.I made it without using egg the crumbs stuck to the fish with no trouble”

  • “Lovely taste!Didn’t use olive oil as we didn’t have any and used almonds instead of peanuts.Cooks very fast! Delicious. It’s a keeper.”

  • “I made some changes to make it cholesterol free by using Egg Beaters instead of eggs. I did not have any peanuts so I chopped pecans up in the food processor. My DH (the picky eater) enjoyed these as well as me. Good recipe Bergy.”
