Easy to make with an interesting flavor and texture. Very versatile too! I think I'll try to suggestion of Panko next time...they were not as crunchy as I expected with using just breadcrumbs. Thanks for posting!

This is awesome!! Even His Royal Pickiness DS ate it and said it was good. And how easy!! My six year old daughter did most of it herself (with mom's help and mom handling the hot stuff, of course). I followed it to a "T:, except used Panko for the bread crumbs, because that's all that was in the cubbord and i was too lazy to make bread crumbs. I recomment the Panko too, BTW.
Anyway, thank's for the great recipe Parsley.

Very good. I used 1/2 tsp parsley, since I didn't have fresh. I also started with a roux (2 Tbs butter, 2Tbs flour), then added some milk and a few splashes of Frangelico, followed by the dry ingredients in the recipe. I did add a little more (~50%more?) lemon juice and one can of crab (with juice). DH really liked it, and he's usually ho-hum about fish. Will definitely make this again. I only had 3 filets and used a 9 x 9" Pyrex dish. Turned out great. I did choose to cook this for an extra 5 minutes.
