I used panko (Japanese bread crumbs and it came out just fine. In fact, it was my second time making and everybody agreed that they liked them much better. I really just don't like asparagus eater, but what I tried wasn't horrible, but just not for me. It has nothing to do with the recipe, it's just me. I don't down rate a recipe because of personal taste like I have noticed others do. I just don't get that. I also don't understand why people rate a recipe a #1 just to ask a question. Go figure.

Upon another reviewers comment about the batter, I used a beer batter and made the creole mustard sauce. Overall it was pretty good. Although, I preferred the sauce before we added the creole mustard, it gave it a weird tang
