I tried this tonight with much disappointment. 1. When I fried it, the crust fell off. I am an experienced cook. 40 years+ cooking, professionally and personally. 2. It DID NOT taste like Red Lobsters. At all! Not to say it didnt have good flavor, but I was rather disappointed that its suppose to be a COPYCAT recipe and it is not. So for any one trying it, if your looking for Red Lobster taste, this is not it!
