Another panko demonstration. Panko is the best breading out there.
It's nothing like bread crumbs. Much lighter than any traditional
breading or batter, and has the best crunch for the buck.

This is "Captains Catch" tilapia which are individually wrapped and
frozen 6oz fillets for the restaurant business. They have changed
my attitude towards tilapia. Each fillet is super-meaty, and
non-muddy tasting. And they only cost $1.68/lb in 20lb boxes.
They are excellent tilapia.

Looks like any other bread crumbs... and they're greasy, fried at too
low a temperature and not properly drained.

After eating 20 pounds of tilapia the dwarf will become a guppy! LOL

You know, Jay, they say the holidays are the worst time of year for
manic depressives. You always seem to show up around this time.

Go apologize to your family and see if they'll have you back. If
not at least for the next 5 weeks.

You're right, the lime was old. But the juice inside is just fine.

Everything looks under breaded, uncrisp, and greasy, including those little
square things at the top of your picture. Tilapia is a shitty fish. It's a
fresh water fish farmed in salt water. They serve it in prisons.

Everything looks well-breaded, crisp and tempting. The potato wedges
at the top of the plate are nicely done, as are the shrimp. Very tempting
treatment of a tasty fish, and that price is amazing. I'll bet the only
people who don't like this picture had a lot of tilapia while in prison.

Panko is to bread crumbs as ramen is to pasta.

I use the usual flour, then egg, then panko routine. Works fine.

That's your opinion, due to some misguided attempt to use Panko
probably in some application for which it wasn't intended. Most of
the rest of us really like it ;-)

Tilapia are great salted, peppered, dredged in corn meal and fried in
peanut oil. I bet their pretty good with panko too, but nothing could
displace the corn meal in our house.

Perhaps Kent associates it with getting raped, and the resultant leaky

And a fine one.

I'll agree with that.

>It's nothing like bread crumbs.

I've posted links twice to videos on how it's made yet people still
say stupid stuff. When I posted a picture of the panko breaded green
tomato and one of the responses (with no quotation) said they saved
old bread I knew it was a lost cause. But lets keep up the quest to
educate those who don't know any better and post pictures of the
results.

Good price and they looked substantial. Basa is another good cheap
fish that gets bad-mouthed here but I like it.

Good looking meal. You got malt vinegar mixed in the ketchup?

Most breading, you have to let it set for at least 10 minutes
before dunking in 350F+ oil. Be gentle and set them on a flat
surface, flipping once before coking. Don't use a rack as they
suggest.

I've never had tilapia in prison. {hmm}

Thank you for the compliments. I can't actually see the picture I
posted so I don't know what looks like what. But it's all good.

Basa is Pangasius, IIRC. Big seller in the restaurant business
since the fillets are easier to skin and can be sold as catfish at
the AYCE buffets and Friday fish frys.

But the other half of their purpose is to clean up the bottom of
tilapia ponds between harvests (bottom feeders). I still buy them
when they look well treated.

And a sqwert of sriracha. And that's White Trash Kraft Tartar
Sauce. Not the even more simpleminded White Trash mayo that
Sheldon suggested.
