Breading using baked cheese Goldfish Crakers

[tacklejunkie]

I've seen this recipe in a magazine a few years back and wished I kept it. Does anyone know it and would be willing to share it?

what type of recepie is this. i googled this product and they had a lot of uses for it but nothing that you could not also use other cheese type crackers with for any reciepe. i would think it would be good cruched almost to a powder form for a fish breading. good luck.

Yep - that was my thought. Put the crackers in a freezer bag (to avoid mess) and crush them using a rolling pin. That works the best for me when using crackers and such for breading. My experience is if you do not get it fine enough, the breading tends to collect too much oil/grease.

right. another thing to remember when using breading and you dont want it to come off during the frying proccess is to let it set on the meat for awhile. take your meat, egg wash it if you want [thats what i like], and then roll the meat in the fine cracker mix. then lay your meat in a paper toweled plate and put it in the fridge for awhile. this lets it "stick" on the meat and when you put the meat in the fryer it wont come off. i usualy use a cookie pan thats flat and only put a single layer on it. dont put one piece of breaded meat on top of the other for it defeats the purpose. good luck.

I found a recipe using Goldfish Crackers online but it was for chicken.

Ah, hell. I'll try it tonight with my fresh caught Island Lake walleye and post my results here

i bet it works just fine for those tasty island lake walleys. hope you have some luck, sure got the walley chop today. good luck.

Ok here's my report.

I pulverized the hell out of the crackers and cooked the fish like I would cook with Shorelunch.

Nothing spetacular but ok. Tasted like cheese flavored Shorelunch

i think you can pulverize just about any cracker and chip flavor that you have a preference for. i like Andy's myself in general. however using potato flakes used in the making of instant mashed potatoe's [with your favorite seasonings] after a egg wash is hard to beat. good luck.

Ding, ding, ding.......yep what ever snack food available will work...well cookies don't taste very good. I personally like things with corn in them(corn chips, taco chips, ect.), it really holds up to frying well. Similar to Rh1's previous post, I usually dredge in seasoned four first, next dip in egg wash, then coat with the crunchy stuff. The first coating of flour allows the egg to adhere better, which allows the coating to stick better. If you don't get enough flavor out of the chips/cracker just season the first flour coating heavier. Some hear the crunch-o-licious smashed corn chip fish.
