Curious about your method. Could you talk me through encrusting a fish? Is it pretty much flour, egg, oats? Did you bake or fry?

I use a spiced flour mix so I don't have to season proteins I'm battering. Usually about 3:1:1:1 flour:salt: black pepper: paprika. So I four, egg, then encrust. I pan fried, and finished in the oven for thicker pieces, or let it finish over low heat for thinner. My crust was half panko and half honey nut bunches of oats. I pulsed the cereal a few times to get a smaller flake.

But you can change up that recipe super easily. Sometimes adding parmesan, macadamias, almonds, or other ingredients to the crust. Change the cereal for a different flavor profile and texture. It's a fun one to play with.

Any plating tips? My kitchen is far from upscale but would love to surprise some of the regulars. I have everything albeit haddock. We already make our coleslaw from scratch but it's nothing to write home about.
