This fish is so crispy and so delicious, my family only likes it made this way from now on... I like to serve it with Asian coleslaw and herb tartar sauce.This fish is wonderful in a taco shell or burger bun too... http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/side-vegetable/vanilla-ginger-cole-slaw.html?p=9 This is a great sauce: http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/chicken/erin-sauce.html?p=32
