Baked Breaded Cod

Fish Joke

A man phoned home from his office. "Honey," he told his wife, "Something has just come up. I have a chance to go fishing for a week. It's the opportunity of a lifetime. So would you pack my clothes, my fishing equipment and my blue silk pajamas? I'll be home in an hour to pick them up." A week later he returned. "Did you have a good trip, dear?" His wife asked. "It was great, fabulous!" He exclaimed. "But you forgot to pack my blue silk pajamas." "No I didn't," She replied. "I put them in your tackle box."

Cod or Pollack are the traditional fish used for this, but any white fish can be used.
