Personal Notes:
This recipe originally called for catfish and to use pecans instead of almonds. I switched things around a little and it came out pretty good. The nuts do have a tendency to clump together after putting the Tilapia dipped in milk mixture, but you can take a fork and kinda smire the clumps onto the tilapia.
