I like plain ol Old Bay seasoning on white fish. If youre looking for a
fish taco spice flavoring, I sometimes use an Ortega Fish Tacos spice mix
packet. Its different than regular taco seasoning mix. I also like
brushing filets with butter, mayo, or egg and dredging them in a mix of
flour or bread crumbs and grated Parmesan then baking. Ground nuts (or
Ritz crackers!) work very, very well for a coating, especially macadamia,
pecans or almonds, and Ill spice it up with various herbs and
seasonings€”use any you like! Do you like Cajun or creole flavors? You can
always mix up your own or buy a premade mix from the spices aisle at the
grocery store. I like Tony Chacheres or Chef Paul Prudhommes. They work
excellent on fish.

You mentioned McCormicks tomato, garlic and wine mix, but this recipe is
quite easy to do!

I try to cook fish at least once a week, and I almost never do the basic
lemon, pepper, garlic, butter on it. Too boring!
