I know fish is good for you, but I'm one of those people that don't care for the "fishy taste" that some fish seem to have. My SO convinced me to try different types of mild fish, so I decided to try orange roughy, and used my fried chicken recipe. This recipe is the great result. Actual prep time is 2 hours 10 minutes, (2 hours chill, 10 minutes actual prep). if you try this, be careful turning, as some of the coating might flake off, but it still just as good.
