Panko bread crumbs

[Jeremy airjer W]

I've been seeing these pop up more and more on just about every cooking show I watch and finally decided to give them a try with some walleye fillets. Salt pepper, flour dredge, dip in egg wash, and coat with panko. Holy cow! If your looking for a serious way good crunch you have to try this!!

I also saw the crushed french onion coated chicken breast the other night and thought I would try with walleye as well. Its not to bad.

Yup that is one of the best ways to fry fish. boar

We used to do the Wondra flour with seasoned bread crumbs prior to finding our current coating. Very tasty.

Panko is the bomb!!!!!! That is my go to fish frying batter for sure!

FYI - I have found some whole wheat Panko out there, it is much better for ya...

It also works well for baking fish.

Put some filets in a zip-lock bag with a few squirts of fat free ranch dressing and toss em around. Then lay em on a baking sheet that you spray with a little non-stick spray. Next mix some panko with a little grated parm cheese. Then put a coating on top of the fish and bake at a high temp or carefully under a broiler till the fish flakes. Keep an eye on it as the panko will darken quick...

When I was a cook for a hotel in the late 80's we used Panko. No idea why now it's popular?

I really like the crunch of the Panko crumbs but to me they're kind of bland tasting. What we've been doing lately is mixing 50/50 Panko and the precrushed Corn Flake crumbs, good light flavor with some crunch to it.

pankos are the ticket , but bland . try dredging them in shorelunch then egg then pankos for a little more flavor . you can also spice up the shore lunch however you like . what i do is about a half hour before i fry i wet the filets with some beer then into a ziplock with the shorelunch , after about a half hour the shorelunch turns into kind of a paste and stays on real well, then in the egg then the pankos to the oil ,salt them well right out of the oil or use season salt. enjoy

You have to season the fish and the egg wash, that's where your flavor will come from.
