This was good, and the best part is the kids ate it just like fried catfish!!

My husband said this was the best catfish he has ever had! I followed the recipe, however I cut my catfish into strips. Even my 2 year old son liked it!

Okay for a healthy version of fried catfish. A little salty - husband liked it a little more than I did but neither once of us loved it.

This is a wonderful recipe! This is the first time I ever cooked a breaded fish. I loved the idea of baking a fish in the oven instead of frying it over the stove. What a healthy alternative! The fish turned out to be moist and flaky. My wife enjoyed it too. I will definitely make this again.

coating actually tastes better the next day

Most flavorful catfish I've ever had...really yummy, and so simple! I love it. I substituted buttermilk for the skim milk, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly.

My 16 year old daughter made this for dinner. It tasted wonderful. Thanks

This was the best fish I have ever had that was not fried. It turned out so crispy without the added fat from frying. The seasoning was perfect. I used oarnge roughy because I don't really care for catfish. I will be making this often. Thanks for posting!

Fast and easy! Pretty tasty, a little bland. Mine was not as crispy as actual fried catfish (that may not be a surprise to other people). I did try re-dipping/breading 2 fillets as you often do with chicken fingers to make them extra crispy. They were not! A little soggy actually. So only dip once! They will have more crunch!

I loved this dish and this technique. The spices used in the breading were right on, and the fish turned out delicious. The only thing that I did (since I had 2.6 lbs of catfish filets) was add an egg to the skim milk and about 1/2 cup of bread crumbs to the breading. I will keep making this recipe again and again since my husband really loves seafood (and I hate frying fish). A few words of caution, though - after the fish is finished baking, serve it immediately. I let it sit for about 40 minutes in a warm oven (husband was late coming for dinner) and the bottoms became soggy when they were perfectly crisp after just being done. Secondly, my filets were huge (4 filets equaled 2.6 lbs) and I had tons of breading and eggwash left over. Afterwards I realized that cutting the fish into smaller strips/pieces would have solved that problem by creating more surface area for the eggwash and breading and would have made smaller, even crisper pieces of fish!

This was a bit spicy for our taste, but not bad. I didn't have celery seed, so I used celery salt instead of table salt. I also forgot to spray with PAM before baking. I cooked it for about 20 minutes, turning it up to 450 for the last 5 minutes. Both sides got very crunchy. May be better with some flour mixed in though. Even my son that doesn't like fish gobbled this up, must be a keeper!

I needed something quick, easy and nutritious for my family's dinner today. This filled the bill beautifully!! I served it along with salt-crusted baked potatoes and a tossed salad. My family LOVED it! This is definitely my go-to recipe henceforth

Excellent seasoning..not too salty at all. Was crisy enough without having to flip over as one of the earlier reviewers mentioned. This cornmeal seasoning would also be great for frying fish in oil, but for the healthier version in the oven it is still A++++.

I thought this was a great recipe. Also, I noticed a few of the other reviews saying that it was too salty. I think this may be because you were adding celery SALT when the recipe calls for celery SEED.

Such an easy way to get the fried taste without all the effort and calories.

Flavorful, but not particularly awesome or good for company. Recipe should mention to flip the fish so that each side is crispy. Calories were right for those of us who are watching our weight. Would I make it again? Maybe, though doubtful, but if I did, it would be with major modifications. Thank you for the opportunity to try it. I might also add that we had .85 lbs of fish for the two of us. We adjusted the recipe for the breading in half. We still had about 1/4 lb of cooked fish for leftovers. My husband says he'll eat it for leftovers, but that remains to be seen.

All I can say is I made this with 4 large catfish fillets for the family. My 2 year old twins DEVORED 2 of the filets themselves... They LOVED it!
