***** This was my first tilapia cooking experience and it was very successful! I made this using just one pound of tilapia fillets. We LOVED the coating and I plan on mixing it in bulk to use as a quick, after-work method of cooking fish. The Old Bay was the key, I think....the scent of it brought my computer-gaming husband out of the basement to see what was going on! Tilapia is so plentiful and affordable these days so I'm planning on making this many more times. Thanks for posting this wonderful recipe Rita :) — Oct 16, 2005

***** This turned out just great! I did make one substitution, fresh toasted bread crumbs for the cornmeal. My wife, who really has to be convinced to eat fish went for seconds and really surprised me. I'll sure make this one again! — Oct 15, 2005, 1 member found this helpful

***** I have a number of tilapia recipes, and this one is my new favorite! The title is perfect as the crust is very crispy and crunchy. My husband and I thought it was delicious (and it takes alot for me to rate something as delicious). I will definitely be making this again, but with one small change: I won't salt after the fish comes out of the pan since it came out a tad too salty for us. Thanks for the great recipe, Rita L. — Jun 22, 2004, 4 members found this helpful

**** This was very good. Nice and crispy. I didn't have any buttermilk, so I used half and half. It was very easy to prepare. — Jun 20, 2004, 4 members found this helpful
