Pecan-Crusted Fish | Traditional Fish Dish From Southern United States, United States of America | TasteAtlas

Pecan-Crusted Fish

Pecan-crusted fish is a traditional dish of the American South. It's sometimes made with a combination of mayonnaise, crushed pecans, honey, and white fish fillets. The fish is dipped into the mixture of mayonnaise and honey, and it's then coated with crushed pecans.


Finally, the dish is baked until the fish becomes flaky. It's important not to overcook the fish because it will become very dry. The dish can also be prepared with a standard mix of butter, Creole seasoning, and garlic for the fish coating. Pecan-crusted fish is often served with a variety of side dishes and garnishes such as baked potatoes, lemon wedges, tartar sauce, yellow rice, or fresh salad.
