Tasty but mushy

The fish was tasty but kind of mushy. I believe that 20 minutes is too long. If you're using frozen fish, it is better to bake it for the amount of time recommended on the packaging.

Awesome!

I hate seafood but made pre-cut whiting for a freind and tried not to touch it too much. I regretted volunteering to do this after I opened the bag and saw the sliced fish with that icky silver skin on it. This recipe is helped a lot. Although, I decided to use eggs to help the breadcrumbs to stick. I still poured the lemon juice on top of the fish after I breaded it. I served the fish with sweet potato wedges w/a mustard and syrup glaze (a Bobby Flay recipe). My friend said that the fish was perfectly cooked so the 20mins. in this recipe works well.
Happy cooking!
