Recipe Notes

You can use almost any white fish for this: trout, cod, drum, or rockfish. The best part of this recipe is that the crusted fish makes great leftovers as sandwiches and you’ll be able to have fish for lunch without any extra work or having to hit the fast food joint.

"Fishing is boring, unless you catch an actual fish, and then it is disgusting."
