I bought almond meal to see what it would be like instead of almond flour in Keto rolls and decided to try it on the Basa filet I bought. Almond meal is not as finely ground as flour and the coating was more like breadcrumbs and worked out great! You can use any filet—flounder, sole, catfish—if it is very thick, it can be finished in the oven.
