Sorry, but I don't agree. You are stuck on panko yet you say it's a coating
not a filling. But then you say it's best crunchy. What? As for the
fritos, bet you've never tried those salmon patties. Panko wouldn't even
come close. You can use unsalted tortilla chips if you like.

Still nothing like panko, which is *boring*. I won't buy the stuff, nope.
It's a waste of $. Just another item touted by the Food Network as far as I
can tell.
