Introduction

I just had a bag of fresh caught crappie in the freezer that needed used and I wanted to do something a little different. Everyone loved it. I used tilapia in the ingredient list. Any mild white fish would do. I just had a bag of fresh caught crappie in the freezer that needed used and I wanted to do something a little different. Everyone loved it.

    I want to thank you so much for this recipe! One of my favorite frozen foods is coconut shrimp (Margartaville, I think), but I rarely buy it because it's extremely expensive. Now I can try making it myself! I will come back and rate after I do. - 5/28/13
