This was not my favorite, but my finicky 7 year old who only likes her fish fried ate it up! Worth making again just for her.

Very tasty! I baked the tilapia and topped with a little bit of breadcrumbs instead of doing in the skillet and still turned out very yummy.

This did not taste good at all. When the fish finally flaked, it was rubbery too.

Excellent. The only change I made was to use Ken's Sundried Tomato Salad Dressing becasue it is what I had on hand. Husband and Son loved it.

She's right - to die for! I crave this at least once a week. I use a little more salad dressing and used cumin and Tony Chachere's Lite Creole Seasoning instead of seafood seasoning. Must use the Jasmine rice. So easy.
