You will be amazed at the unique flavor this recipe will give your fillets without even a hint of wasabi heat.

-In food processer; pulverize wasabi peas and remove to large bowl, and then the Ritz Crackers. Mix the pulverized peas and crackers together very well.

-Add egg white to milk and mix well.

-Sprinkle fillets with salt and pepper then dip each in egg-milk bath and dredge through wasabi pea-cracker breading mixture.
