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.

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

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
