    This was great!!! I made it for my husband who doesn't usually like fish unless it's deep fried and coated in tartar sauce. He loved it!! I substituted Kashi Go Lean Crunch cereal instead of Fiber One because thats what I had on hand, great blend of spicy & sweet!! - 10/21/09

    This recipe was wonderful. I did not have parmesan cheese so left it out and used panko and fiber one. It was as my husband said the best fish he has ever had! A real keeper. Thanks - 5/3/07

    Delicious! Next time, I would use olive oil spray beneath the fish instead of the butter spray. The recipe for the coating made WAY too much- I'd stick with making about a half of that amount. I broiled the filets for a couple of minutes at the end to make it a bit crispier. Very good! - 7/3/12

    We are not fish people but we are trying to add more of it to our life - this one is a keeper! I ended up using the triskets as I didnt have break crumbs or the cereal on hand. Would recommend using low salt triskets as the regular ones did at a bit more of salty taste. But all around good dish! - 11/15/11

    I used Panko and put 1/2 the amount of onion powder and Cajun seasoning because I don't like a lot of spice (heat). After I cooked it I added a very light touch of salt. I thought this was OK. I make so many different kinds of fish I wish I would have just baked and added the spices I normally do. - 8/23/15

    I enjoyed this recipe although I did a few things different. I used Panko breading instead of the fiber one and used a creole seasoning instead of the cajun and onion powder. My 4 yr old even loved it....only thing is that next time i will cut the ingredients down because of excess breading. - 1/14/12
