My breadcrumbing station!

Cod with a crunchy topping. No oil used so nice and healthy too

I've actually used basa as it's half the price of cod, I prefer it to cod.

I already have batches of frozen tomato sauce for pizza, which is what I've used in this recipe. You could use any bottled tomato sauce, it's just used as flavouring and to help the breadcrumbs stick to the fish.

We have a huge list of tomato sauce recipes here. If none of those take your fancy, use good old Heinz tomato ketchup, it will be fine!
