recipe reviews for:

Cajun Compromise Catfish

“A fast, tasty, spicy fried fish recipe which can be adjusted to suit the cook's (or diner's) preference. I call it Cajun Compromise because the spice level is the result of a compromise between my wife and I. It can be served with tartar sauce for the timid, or hot sauce for the not-so-timid. Great for appetizers or a main dish.”

AMAAAZING!!!! I myself am not a big fish lover but i made this for my boyfriend and i for dinner with dirty rice and it turned out absolutely amazing! Had just the right amount of heat to make both him and i happy. He's all about spicy HOT food, me not so much. Will definitely be saving this to make it again and again! Thanks for the recipe :)

This was an easy and awesome recipe. This was also my first successful fried cat fish. The only thing that I had to tweak was the temperature from med high to med low. I guess electric stove tops are a bit hotter than gas.

Excellent recipe every one in my house loved this including the kids who does not eat fish very well I agree with some of the other people the only thing that could make this better is if there were more tips on cooking fish for people who never have but the recipe is rocking by itself

This was tasty and one I will make often in the summer while my catfish are biting. I used a lot more Frank's because we like extra heat. The ingredient combo blended nicely in this recipe. I found that a Fry Daddy works nicely with this too.

This was an easy to make and flavorful dish. I served it as a sandwich with tartar sauce and cajun mayo. I added more than a dash of hot sauce to the batter and it was just the right amount of spice for me.

NOT one of my favorite, by far. Not sure the "waiting time" in the fridge was helpful...

Wow...GREAT recipe. Take the other reviewers advice and double the dry ingredients. I follwed this recipe exactly as written with the exception of adding about 5 dashes of hot sauce (we like it spicy down south) and my catfish turned out wonderful. Thanks for the recipe. This one's a keeper.
