Oh yum! Made this today with some fresh cod fillets. The only additional flavor I added was a light brush of mustard on each fillet before the flour, egg, and pretzel crumbs went on. The final flavor and texture were both excellent; I'll definitely make this again. Even though there were no nuts in the recipe, as I ate it I was reminded of my favorite pecan crusted fish at a local restaurant. That's served with a maple butter sauce, and so I drizzled my piece of fish with a little maple syrup. Delectable!

Delicious!! So easy, so quick - loved the texture. I used Tilapia because that's what I had in the house and a flattened boneless, skinless chicken breast for the hubby & we both really enjoyed our meals.

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.
