Soda Cracker Haddock

Well-known fact #1: fish/seafood is one of my favorite sources of protein.
Well-known fact #2: I am always looking for different options, different flavors, and different ways of preparing this fish and seafood. 
Well-known fact #3: I have already tried breadcrumbs, multigrain cracker crumbs, and bread.

What did I try this time? Good old classic salted soda cracker crumbs. You can probably find them in most cupboards. They are definitely in every grocery store. They are what you turn to when you are sick and can't stomach much else. They are plain and simple - no flavoring, just a classic flavor good paired with a little butter or cheese or soup or nothing at all. In fact, they are even good for making "apple" pie (see {Mock Apple Pie}). Simply crush them up by hand, with a rolling pin or large pan, or in a food processor and coat the fish with them. Then pan fry until golden and crispy. Once cooked, the crackers don't really taste like crackers anymore, but do have a nice, salty buttery flavor and add a pleasant texture and crunch. This is definitely a comfort food - crackers and pan-fried haddock.
