Tried this out last night. It was alright, but I doubt I'll use this recipe again. Maybe it didn't turn out as well because I had to use breadcrumbs. As Derf said, I too ended up having to dip the fillets into the egg mixture a second time to get the breadcrumbs to stick... not a big deal. The fish came out nice & flaky, but we didn't fall in love with the flavor.

Just finished having this for dinner - it's wonderful! DH chose this from other recipes b/c of the cayenne pepper. I can't tolerate much spiciness, but this was perfectly seasoned. We did use corn meal instead of flour, and plain breadcrumbs instead of corn flakes. I served it with my own German potato salad and frozen mixed peas/carrots.

This was yummy! I'd never had Pollock before but found it on sale for $1/6oz. and thought I'd try it. I followed the recipe but cooked it in a skillet instead of in the oven. It came out great! Crispy, tender, and great flavor. Thanks!

Made for PAC Fall 2007. This fish was excellent! I used Basa fillets since that's what I had on hand. I also changed the order in the directions. First I dipped the fillets in the flour mixture, then the egg, and finally into the cornflakes. The fillets turned out nice and crispy on the outside and juicy and flavorful on the inside. I'll be making this again, and again. Thanks NoraMarie!
