I will definitely have to make this with our last two Tilapias. We have recently gotten into this kind of fish and am glad because I am not a big fish person and they don't taste very fishy at all. Was it spicy at all with the cayenne (sp?)? I am not a big spicy person but can take a bit. I will let you know what I try this!
