I baked instead of fried, and the fish turned out great. - 06 May 2002 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
The key is to dip in coating, then egg, then coating again. - 21 Nov 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Looked for a recipe to coat and fry some Pollack fillets and I didnt have 2 cups of dry potato flakes for Crispy Fish( Submitted by: Kristi). I treid this even though there was no reviews but can honestly say that it was a very good coating and is added to my recipe box. Flavouring was perfect for our palate, may be a bit spicey/salty for some. - 11 Oct 2001 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
