    My picker family loved this recipe! I used Panko instead of the breadcrumbs. - 1/31/11

    This was the best tilapia I have ever made! It was so delicious! I did not have Italian breadcrumbs so I improvised by just adding Italian seasoning to plain breadcrumbs. I also added about 1 Tbsp of garlic powder. It was PERFECT! - 8/31/10
