Made for my DH who esp asked for fried cod vs my usual go-to oven recipes. My fillets were *very lrg* & I got 4 servings of 2-pieces ea. The only chg I made was to use lemon pepper in the flour-salt mixture. The cod was not the least bit greasy & was served w/parslied potatoes & a broccoli salad. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. I am sure my DH will ask for it often. :-)

Hello Zaars and Zaarinas!
Thank all of you who tried my 'memory' recipes and left such nice reviews and for taking such lovely pictures. I do appreciate your comments.
My pet peeves about cooking are recipe reviews where the reviewer says, "I made the recipe exactly as written EXCEPT yada yada yada" and I don't like suggestive names or titles such as, "Better Than Sex". I don't know why anyone would eat anything that is 'sinful' or 'decadent' since decadent is described as being decaying. Also, PAP-RI-KA only has 3 syllables. VINAIGRETTE is pronounced vin-a-grette, not vinager-ette. It's mas-car-pone not mars-ca-pone. And I don't like cutesy adult baby talk,,, or metro chic names like delish, nutrish, yummo, sammy, BAM! Oh well, I make as many, or more, faux pas as the next guy especially in ASL!
