    I used Ritz crackers. I loved the mustard flavor of the dish! I did wish for a bit of a butter sauce to go with it, but the simple squirt of lemon made this a quick and healthy meal.

    I thought this was great. It only took about a minute to prep and I was able to use my small countertop oven and avoid heating up the house on a hot day. I served it with a potato salad with Caesar dressing which was a good complement to the mustardy fish.

    Very good flavor, although the coating on mine was soggy. I reduced mustard by half, used red snapper and ritz crackers. The fish itself was delicious but we all wanted some crispy coating. Maybe next time I’ll pan-fry, or cook under a broiler.

    I also liked this recipe but next time will make sure to use unsalted butter as the result was a tad too salty with the Ritz cracker crumbs and the Old Bay seasoning - will know for next time. Definitely needs a hit of fresh lemon or other citrus. I used cod. Overall was a really easy, quick, and delicious dinner that I will make again.

    This worked really well with previously frozen tilapia. I used Ritz crackers. Delicious and easy. Served with baked potatoes and peas.

    Tasty and easy fish dish. It was a good use of leftover Ritz crackers I had lying around after a party and came together very quickly on a weeknight. I think I prefer a less mustard-forward crumb topping for fish, but my husband really enjoyed it.

    Made this with some whole wheat club crackers we had on hand. Came together in minutes, very tasty! Would reduce salt in the cracker mixture next time. Made it in the toaster oven.

    Easier than making boxed mac and cheese

    Made this with the Trader Joe's equivalent to Ritz Crackers, and liked it a lot -- super easy to put together, healthy-ish, and delicious. Alas, this was not the dish to convert the kiddos to white fish. Served with a potatoes salad with lemon, olive oil, cornichons, capers, and herbs, which was a nice match, and sauteed broccolini. Definitely will be a repeat.

    I made this with oyster crackers. Very good. Loved the kick from the mustard.

    I made this with saltines. It was good but not as delicious as the buttery version in Ina's recent cookbook (but healthier!) I made the slaw recommended in the headnote and it was really good. We ate this with mashed potatoes- total comfort food!
