This recipe is a great way to use up leftover fish. I had some leftover tilapia and it worked perfectly in this recipe. The fish was flaky and flavorful, and the Cajun seasoning was the perfect complement.

I'm not usually a fan of pan-fried fish, but this recipe changed my mind. The Cajun seasoning really took the fish to the next level. I also loved the crispy coating, which stayed crispy even after the fish had cooled down. Will definitely be making
