Tilapia crusted with potatoes

Of course, frozen fish can't compete against fresh fish in terms of texture, flavors and etc. But, fresh fish is too expensive these days.

Therefore, to create a savory dish out of frozen fish is surely a money-making culinary challenge. Frozen tilapia has a huge potential as it is quite moist inside compared to seawater fishes.

Still, frozen tilapia has an inherent disadvantage - the lack of skin, i.e. the lack of crispiness. Why don't we let a potato do the job instead?
