Solid recipe that turned out great!
Used lard (for the first time) to shallow fry some Tilapia and it turned out amazing, I wish I would have made double order of the keto coleslaw so we had some left overs.

- Hey Scott, thank you for the feedback. So glad you liked it. It’s one of our most popular fish recipes.

I will DEFINITELY make this again! I did use my counter deep fryer to cook it. It was crispy and crunchy, just the way my family likes it. It wasn’t greasy at all. Only one member is doing keto, but we all agreed this was a recipe keeper for everyone.

- So glad you liked it, Cindy.

So delicious! Next time I may use 1/2 a lemon as my hubby is not a huge fan of lemon. That being said he complimented me 3 times on the dinner. I served with roasted cauliflower, salad for me and 1/2 baked sweet potato for him. Yum. The fish was so crispy and tasty.

- I’m so glad that you and your husband enjoyed it, Susie!!

Delicious! I altered recipe a bit. Used some garlic as I like garlic. Added about a 3rd cup of parm cheese. I did pan fry. It was delicious! Thank you

Reply
- They are some great additions, Mary! Garlic and parmesan go really well with fish.

I just made this. It was very good. I substituted a little lemon pepper instead of lemon zest and fried in the pan. It turned out yummy.

NOT A RECOMMENDED AIR-FRYER RECIPE.

  The recipe clearly states to use a deep fryer.
  I would recommend thoroughly reading the directions of a recipe before beginning to avoid issues like this in the future.
