My new favorite fish recipe. I've decided that we need to start eating more fish so I bought 3 1/2 pounds of tilapia at Costco. Just didn't know what to do with it! Well, this recipe caught my eye, so I made it tonight and my entire family absolutely loved it!! I did everything exactly the way it was written, except that I didn't add more salt at the end. We had it with rice and asparagus, and my two 10-year-olds ate every bite. The crust stayed on the fish, it was moist and flaky on the inside and crispy on the outside. Perfect! Thank you very much!

It's hard for me to rate it, as I just used this as a base recipe, as I found out i didn't didn't have a few of the ingredients midway through. I used breadcrumbs instead of corn meal and a random seasoning instead of Old Bay. One thing i just wanted other people to watch for was salt. I kind of forgot there would be salt in the seasoning and I still seasoned more on top of That and it got pretty salty.
