I am crazy for the DoSiDo girl scout cookies. Is there a recipe even close to these? 
I can't seem to make the thick hard cookie and the icing in the middle.
Thank You Sooo Very Much!!

Subject: The Mystery Wyatts Caferteria Fish

Hi my name is Alex and I was wondering if you might have the recipe from the 
old Wyatts Cafeteria chain that used to be in Texas. As a kid my Dad used to 
take my Mom to the resteraunte in Fort Worth off the service road of I-30 and 
Seminary while she was pregnant with my little brother. Like allways she would 
get her favorite dish which was a breaded or battered fish with almonds in the 
crust. I wanted to surprise them by driving to Dallas on thier anniversery in 
October 2011 to the last known cafeteria but i found out its been closed for 
a while now....I just been recently looking for the recipe and my Wife told 
me to check your website. please if you have or know where I can find it can 
you email a Link or address I can find it...thank you 

Thank You Again
Alex 

Hello Alex,

I found a description of a Wyatt's fish dish with bread crumbs and almonds on a blog . This is the only thing that I found that was close to your description: The blogger says:
"Another Wyatt's staple during that era was its baked fish with a piled-high crusty topping of crushed almonds and bread crumbs."
See:

"The Newfangled Country Gardener" - Kay Wheeler Moore

The recipe on that site and below is not from Wyatt's Cafeteria. It's actually from "Family Circle Magazine", and MS Moore has adapted it to make it more healthy by adding the stir-fried vegetables. You can leave off the vegetables and just make the fish if you wish. She says that it is very similar to the baked fish dish from Wyatt's.

Nut-Crusted Fish Fillets (adapted from Family Circle Magazine)

4 slices reduced-calorie wheat bread
1/3 cup sliced almonds, chopped
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
4 flounder fillets, about 6-ounces each

Stir-Fry:
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 gloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 carrots (1/4 pound), peeled and cut into 2-inch matchsticks
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 large scallions, chopped, for garnish
lemon slices, for garnish

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Coat 13-by-9-by-2-inch baking dish with nonstick 
cooking spray. Set aside. Place bread in bowl of food processor; whirl until 
fine crumbs are formed. In a small bowl combine crumbs, chopped almonds, thyme, 
1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper. Stir in olive oil, 
lemon juice, and lemon zest until all ingredients are moistened. Season fish 
with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Fold fillets in half 
and place in prepared baking dish. Spoon 1/4 of the bread topping over each fillet. 
Bake in 400- degree oven for 17 to 19 minutes or until fish flakes easily.

Stir-Fry: While fish is baking, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick 
skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add green beans 
and carrots. Season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for 14 to 16 minutes or until 
vegetables are crisp-tender. If skillet gets too dry, add a tablespoon or two of 
water. Serve fish with stir-fry vegetables. Garnish with scallions and lemon slices.
