I did not like this one. The potato topping got too toasty (almost burned tasting) and it was kind of mushy and bland too. Not much flavor. I scraped it off the fish after a couple of bites. Not a recipe I'd make again.
 
Same here. I thought the topping was too dry, needed more moisture in it.
 
oh man... I thought it sounded good... thanks for the heads up. I will play around with it.. it was a fusion of my to favorites.. fish and potato!
 
We made it this weekend, but didn't have any horseradish. I thought the topping was delicious - very fine, crispy. It did need more taste, but attributed it to the lack of horseradish. I liked it overall.
 
Hi there, I'm sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy this recipe. It's always disappointing when a dish doesn't turn out as expected. Did you follow the recipe exactly or make any substitutions? Sometimes small changes can affect the final result. If you'd like, I can suggest some tips for next time to help prevent the potato topping from getting too toasty and to add more flavor. I hope you'll give this recipe another chance in the future. Thank you for your feedback.
