I used cashew nuts with Mahi-Mahi and it was very good. Rich flavour

Unfortunatly this didn't turn out well for me. Macadamias are a very oily nut to begin with -- pan frying them in oil made for a very greasy dish. Also, I only had the heat on medium, but the coconut burned quickly. I think in the future I would either bake this in the oven, and/or use a "drier" nut like pecans or almonds.

Simple recipie, came out very good. Definitely a keeper.

I used snapper filets and instead of frying them, I baked them in the oven. The fish was moist and delicious and the crust did not get burned at all. I will make this again with different nuts and different tyes of fish. Thanks for sharing!

Made this a few weeks ago and it was fantastic! My hubby is a picky p.i.t.a and he loved it! I made it as it is posted but I used macademia nuts, so tasty. Thanks DiB for sharing.
