My bf and I really, really enjoyed this! You are so right too, the flavor of the breading complements the mild Tilapia, but does not overpower it at all. Wonderful blend of flavors and a nice zing. I followed recipe exactly except I did use Eggbeaters in place of the egg and halved the recipe for 2 fillets. My fillets were thin; my instinct was to reserve half of the breading mixture for another time, but I forgot to and ended up wasting 1/4 cup or more of breading mixture (oops!). I agree the egg and mayo worked great to help the breading stick better. Oh yeah, I also replaced the butter with Smart Balance with Flaxseed Oil spread. This was a wonderful new Tilapia recipe for me to add to our repertoire. Bf gives this a very enthusiastic 5 stars (rare for him to give 5). When I saw this in a recipe tag game, I couldn't wait for it to be offered again, lol. Thanks for sharing Gatorbek! I served this with a few drops of lemon juice on each fillet and some bottled tartar sauce, and Shoestring "fries". YummY!!

I made this for DH last night. He enjoyed the breading on the fish but I made the mistake of using cod instead of tilapia (it was all I had). He didn't care for the fish itself. I am going to use this breading again on the right fish & then I will update my review. Made for Please Review My Recipe

Made for Photo Tag Winter 2007 In a word...Excellent I stayed true to your recipe,GB and fried the Tilapia but next time I will try oven-fried to reduce the fat content...hopefully it won't take away from the delicious flavour. It really is a lovely tasty manner of preparing the fish. Thanks for the recipe! I'll let you know how the oven-baked way turns out.
