Chef Dee's Note:

I never thought I would submit a fish recipe, but the kids found this on the net and talked me into making it. Wow, the salty crunchy coating is fantastic, especially fried in butter.

Based on the other reviews, I thought my kids would love it. They usually devour fish dipped in plain breadcrubs and broiled, but they wouldn't touch this. I also usually don't panfry, so I found it really greasy. I broiled the second batch and liked it better, but it was still bland. I won't make this again.

We made this last night, neither DD enjoy it. We found it very plain. (We did use low sodium pretzels which could have made a difference.) I will use this recipe again, for the breading, but will add extra spice such as paprika, or lemon pepper.Thank you. UPDATE: DUH. Didn't put lemon juice on them. Leftovers today were very much enjoyed by all.
