I love this recipe! A little spicy for some (my fam)...but perfect if you love some kick. I excluded the bread:)

Great! My husband and I both loved this. We left the spices as is in the recipe, but we both like spicy foods so it worked for us. We did add the lemon to the skillet at the end of cooking the tilapia in order to warm it and to make sure we had juices to pour over the bread. Delicious!

Fantastic! Healthy, diet friendly and VERY tasty (we had our fish with mashed potatoes and fresh green beans, but I will make the original recipe for lunch soon). We cooked our fish on a very hot griddle on the BBQ for 4 minutes per side (lid down)and it was perfectly cooked. A pat of butter on top finished it nicely. This will definitely become a regular meal in our home.

Very good recipe ...I reduced the salt because I thought it was too much .So just salted to taste. I used my cast iron skillet.Worked beautifully. Taste was good but did not thrill the family.

Wonderful seasoning. I add all these ingredients, minus the salt, to a small box of Zatarain's fish fry. It is perfect.

How can a hobo without a kitchen create such a tasty recipe! I keep the spices mixed in advance. I like the spice combo so much, I add it to other dishes.

Blackened Tilapia with Secret Hobo Spices' Haiku: "Smoky, spicy, yum! I love this recipe's name. Where's that hobo chef?" Couldn't help but chuckle at the recipe's name, and description, so just had to make this. The blackened seasoning raised my el-cheapo wimpy generic frozen tilapia filets to a whole new level. Only thing I couldn't bring myself to do was buy a loaf of white bread (we like honey wheat in deez parts) to try that out, and I guess I'm glad that I didn't b/c, well, there were no pan juices to speak of. Very dry, mega-smokey, and oil a-poppin', but wow, the fish was so awesome!! Thanks sleepy hobo!

This one needs some work. There was so much paprika that it completely overshadowed the other spices. Also, there were no pan juices. And I had so much spice mix left over that I could have made an entire second recipe. Kind of disappointing.

I LOVED this fish for two reasons: 1) the spice mix was excellent on the fish, and 2) the method of cooking created a crispy crust on the fish and left the inside tender and moist. I didn't use bread or lemon, but the fish itself had me doing the happy hobo tilapia dance. 5+ stars.
