Cut fish into 6 equal portions (if frozen, thaw first). Combine bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons cheese, parsley, salt, pepper, and garlic. Dip fish in oil, drain, and dip in crumb mixture. Place fillets in individual baking pans or on a baking sheet. Fry bacon pieces until half-done; drain well. Top each fish portion with an equal amount of bacon, tomato pieces, and egg slices.
