"This is a recipe I came up with after hosting many annual fish fries at our summer camp. The fish pieces need to be a bit wet for the coating to stick; we freeze everything we catch throughout the summer and at the end of the summer we thaw the fish, coat it with this recipe and deep fry it. I am asked for this recipe quite often. This is a nice light coating, similar to a flour dredge, but crispier. This is not a batter and no beer is used in this recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. If gluten intolerant make sure you are using gluten free all-purpose flour."

Great recipe, Bea! Provided that good stuff that makes fried fish delicious. Used haddock filets and had some leftover coating which I saved in the freezer for some more fish fry delight later. I’m so glad you shared your secret, so starting thinking of revealing some more secrets.…Lol.

I didn't have romano cheese so substituted parmesan. Crust on our fish was so delicious! Fish was moist and it was a great meal. Had baked potatoes with parmesan and butter combo and snap peas to have with it. Delicious meal!

The coating makes the best tasting fish we have had in a long time! The coating was crunchy and the fish was juicy and delicious!
