This is fabulous and using the bag -- almost no clean up! I used catfish fillets and canola oil for a delicious supper which we served with Lemon and Red onion roasted potatoes Lemon and Red Onion Roasted Potatoes and Caesar Coleslaw Caesar Coleslaw. This reminds me of the fish my mother used to make -- using flounder instead of the catfish--I think this will work for almost any fish with delicous results. Thanks for sharing this keeper which we will be having often!
