I remember a long time ago you wrote about McCormick & Schmidts and how you would go there for seafood. I basically grew up on the Plaza, but we don’t do seafood so I’ve never been to M&S. Everytime I walk by or go into Z underneath I’m like, “Gee. I wonder what they would think if I went in and asked for that Chocolate Bag thing that Kristen was talking about…”

It was much the same for me. The only time we had fish was when my dad would go fishing and actually keep and clean the fish. It wasn’t very often! And I, too, buy most of my fish frozen from Costco. Just one reason I’d love to live on a coast!

Frozen fish sticks were the only fish I had growing up. And I never make it at home (well I make shellfish) because my husband wont eat it….boo.

I don’t eat anywhere near enough fish, it’s very expensive here. When I do cook it I tend to but the cheaper fish like Pollock and Coley.

This recipe looks really good, if I can get some tilapia I’ll try this.

Me again. I’m going to make this recipe tonight. I have a friend coming over who likes fish, so it seemed like good timing. I’ll let you know how it goes and post it if the meal is successful. Thanks!

We’ve got an award for you.

Hi Kristen,

I love Costco’s flash frozen fish section and I am in Boston!

I also love the frozen Tilapia, thanks for sharing your recipe, it looks great!

I have an easy one too, and it’s quite tasty.

Crunchy Tilapia

Serves 2.
2 Tilapia filets (I use Costco)
1/4 cup Sour Cream
2 T dijon mustard (any brand)
1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
3 T. soft butter
2 T. olive oil (may sub vegetable oil)
salt and pepper, for sprinkling

1. Defrost tilapia, rinse and pat dry.
2. Sprinkle salt & pepper on both sides
of tilapia, let sit for 10 min.
3. Mix sour cream & dijon mustard.
4. Dredge tilapia filets in sour cream
mixture on both sides.
5. Place Panko on a plate.
6. Press Tilapia gently into Panko crumbs,
on both sides.
7. Heat oil & butter in skillet, until
butter foams. (on medium)
8. Place Tilapia into skillet and cook
on medium heat for 3 minutes on one
side. Turn and cook 2-3 minutes on
the other side. Take out of skillet
and let rest on a paper towel for
about 2 minutes. Squeeze lemon if
you like.

When I was a kid on the east coast we would have codfish cakes, swordfish, lobster and clambakes. Seafood is one of my favorites, too! My DH and I like tilapia VERY much and usually grill it whole in foil. Such yummy stuff! Karens last blog post..Holiday Eggnog Cookies

Growing up, canned tuna was the extent of my fish repetoire. This week, I am proud to announce that I made fish three times (not including leftovers). It's a fish record for me. I'm still not a big lover of fishy-tasting foods. But I really enjoyed talapia when I tried making it and generally like the coated (parmesan or bread-crumb) fish recipes. Basically, as long as it doesn't taste like fish, I like it. Psychgrads last blog post..BloggerAid: Because We Can Help

Oh, and btw, I love fish, too. I happen to have some tilapia just waiting to be cooked. I love seafood but have a difficult time finding recipes that will wow the family. Thanks for posting this! shelleys last blog post..Minestrone Soup

Hi Kristin!
I am so sorry for taking so long, but I wanted to thank you for the Taste of Home Cookbook that I won a couple of weeks ago. It arrived last Saturday and I wanted to send you a hand written Thank You card and mail it to you, but my husband recycled the box before I could get to it! (I’ll take any opportunity to blame him! LOL)

Anyway, I had good intentions. But thank you so very much! I love it and I am excited to try more recipes. So far, I’ve made the Tuscan Three Bean Salad and the Italian Stew. Both were delicious. The Italian Stew was a huge hit last night. My 16 year old daughter was flipping through it last night and has put several colorful post it notes to flag recipes…for her to cook or that she wants me to make for her, I’m not sure! LOL

Thank you!
Sincerely,
Shelley

Another easy and quick recipe for any type of fish is to marinade it in sesame oil, soy sauce, and fresh chopped ginger and garlic overnight. Baked it and eat! DEE-Licious!

I love Tilapia, I bet this parm-crusted is just so tastey! It's beautiful too. noble pigs last blog post..Something Different
