I used the crushed corn flakes and the buttermilk when making this. I may try the breadcrumbs next time because the coating came off easily. I used a mild fish and the flavors complimented it nicely.

Great, healthy fish recipe. I love the crispiness on the outside and the flaky fish on the inside. The only change I might make is to add more hot sauce, since we didn't really pick up on that taste. This is a great method for cooking fish. Thank you! ~Made for Spring 2011 Pick A Chef~
