Crispy Red Snapper
"This recipe came from Taste of Home. I have used cracker crumbs instead of bread crumbs, and it is just as good. You can either fry it or oven bake it. I have tried it both ways and like them equally. The amount of cooking time depends on the thickness of the fillets. In my wee town, we only get the thinner fillets which obviously cooks faster."
