Parmesan PointersWhen a recipe calls for shredded Parmesan cheese, use the cheese found in bags in the grocery store dairy section. Shredded Parmesan is often used in salads or soups where the shreds make a pretty garnish. If grated Parmesan is called for, use the finely grated cheese sold in containers with shaker/pourer tops. This type works well in lasagna and casseroles. (You can substitute either shredded or grated Parmesan in equal proportions in your favorite recipes.) If you decide to buy a chunk of Parmesan cheese and grate your own, be sure to use the finest section on your grating tool. You can also use a blender or food processor. Simply cut the cheese into 1-inch cubes and process 1 cup of cubes at a time on high until finely grated.

I read some of the previous suggestions and added some additional spices. As well, I didn't want to fry my fish so I baked it at 425* for 13 minutes. It was ok; I would probably not make it again.

This is a hit in my home! I added some Italian seasoning blend with the cracker mixture to give it some additional flavor. We found this recipe both simple and delicious.

The combination of crackers and Parmesan cheese make for a very tasty crust. This is our new "go-to" recipe for an easy-to-make, delicious dinner.

We loved this with tilapia. I'm going to try it with cad tonight.

I think I was set up to fail, because I used the grated parmesan in the shaker, instead of grated parmesan. Regardless, I found the crust a bit bland. I would try this again, and next time I will use grated parmesan.

Gosh I liked this! No, I LOVED it! SO delicious! I keep crushed butter-flavored crackers in the freezer all the time which made preparation super easy! I've made it twice now, EXACTLY as written and both my husband and I really enjoyed it. So crispy and good-tasting and so nice and QUICK to make! It's definitely a keeper in this house!

As delicious as it is easy to make. The crust has a nice buttery, crispiness that makes it very tasty. I substituted haddock for the tilapia with nice results. I imagine it would work well for any whitefish. Thanks for the recipe!
