I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. These seafood triangles were just okay. I've had much better.

Meh. These seafood triangles were just average. Nothing special, and I definitely wouldn't make them again.

These seafood triangles were a disaster! The filling was undercooked, and the phyllo pastry was soggy. I don't know what went wrong, but I'm not going to try this recipe again.

These were just okay. The filling was a bit bland, and the phyllo pastry was too greasy for my taste. I think I'll stick to my usual seafood recipes in the future.

These seafood triangles were a great way to use up some leftover seafood I had in the fridge. They were quick and easy to make, and they turned out crispy and delicious. I served them with a simple lemon-herb sauce, and they were a hit with my family

Solid 4 stars. The filling was amazing, but I found the phyllo pastry to be a bit too crispy for my taste. Next time, I'll try using a different type of pastry, perhaps puff pastry or even wonton wrappers. Other than that, this recipe is a winner!

Oh my, these were delicious! I made them for a party and they were a huge hit. Everyone raved about them and asked for the recipe. I'll definitely be making these again, and I think I'll try experimenting with different types of seafood fillings next
