This was fantastic! I used sweetened shredded coconut, as that was all I had on hand, and it worked just fine. Just as easy and way more interesting than just baking fish. I couldn't figure out by the directions which side to bread, so I did it on both sides. It didn't look super pretty, but it tasted great.
