This recipe was so easy and delicious! I will be trying this with other types of fish as well. My picky boyfriend even loved it. This is a keeper.07/21/09

This is my absolute favorite fish recipe on this site. I've used both halibut and sea bass and they are both excellent! The aioli sauce makes the dish and the cornflake crust is to die for when cooked properly. You must try this!03/25/09
