I found this recipe to be easy and very good. I did make a few changes and that was not to add the salt and I used cheeze-its instead of the nips but since there is salt on the crackers I thought it would be best to not add more. I also didn't have parsley and I was a little leary in making it without but I had everything else and went for it. I certainly didn't miss the parsley but next time I make it I will try it with the parsley. I've already added this to my "Cookbook". Thanks!

My DH & I eat fish 3-4 nights a week so I'm always on the search for new ways to prepare. This recipe was DELICIOUS! I skipped the marinade all together and as we have to follow a lower sodium diet I skipped the salt and used just enough cheese crackers to put a decent coating on each piece of fish. Baked as directed as it was absolutely YUMMY! Definitely will be added to my line up for regular use.

This is a delicious recipe. The fish turned out very flavorful and moist. The use of the cheese crackers makes such a difference in the coating and overall flavor of the fish. The only change I made was to omit the water in the marinade and just used the lemon juice as my roughy had been frozen and I didn't want the texture of the fish to suffer and become "waterlogged". Thank you Stacky5RLC for sharing the recipe.

Hi! My name is Stacy, and I'm a single Mom who works full-time with 4 kids ranging from ages 9 to 21, a brand new granddaughter named Faith, and a cat named Pubert (we call him Pube) who is also my kid... That's his photo as my icon. Oh, and a new kitten that the kids named "KeeKee" but who I call Little Kitteh. I love them with all my heart! Even though I don't have my parents anymore, their presence is always felt and their love has resonated in my life, even after all this time. You'll find a lot of my posted recipes that refer to "Jolean" --- and that's my Mom. :) I sure do miss her...
I love music, especially 70's music, cats, incense & lavalights, candles, and I love to play guitar. I've been called an old "hippie chick," and I don't mind that label in the least. I also love to try other people's recipes and find ones that remind me of my Mother, and those precious memories that I had growing up in a household with such a wonderfully comforting cook...I work full-time in a real estate office as an office administrator.
I came to this site looking for recipes that were tried and true. I stayed at this site because I found people who were kind, loving, caring and shared the same interest that I do --- food and cooking. I've saved a lifetime of recipes and learned so much about cooking and ingredients that I actually feel proud of my cooking. I bet my Mom looks down on me with pride every time I cook a new recipe from RecipeZaar, and I bet my Dad cracks up every time he sees me photographing what I've cooked! My daughters have actually gotten into the act, too, and are quite versed in searching for recipes and answers here on Zaar. Makes me proud to be their Mom.
RecipeZaar isn't just a "website." It's a lifestyle. And some of the friends I've made here are LIFELONG friends to me --- and in my estimation, those types of people are a rare thing to find in this world. :)
P.S. Pube says, "Hello everybody!" ;)
