will make again
My grocery store didn't have trout so I used roughey and it was still delicious. I would probably actually use buttermilk next time though instead of skim milk - will probably give it a little more taste.

Good Fish
This meal was good, just like eating fried fish. The seasoned bread crumbs made the recipe that much better. Very good recipe, and easy!

Fantastic!
This recipe was amazing! I used catfish instead of trout and I added a little garlic salt and cayenne pepper because my Creole seasoning is salt free and wasn't very spicy. I also turned on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. The breading was crispy; the inside was flaky and moist. This was by far the best healthy fish recipe I've ever had. I will definitely be making it again! It truly tasted like fried fish without the greasiness! :)
