I grew up eating catfish and this recipe really made me think of home. Even my husband loved it!!! It was easy and tasty!! I used a regular pan on my gas stove it turned out great!

Very good. Improvised & added alot more spices. Used bread crumbs & flour for coating. Added: Thyme, Parsley, Seasoning Salt, Garlic Powder, crushed dry onion, pepper & salt, Emerile's BAM spice and fried in generous butter.

My wife does not like fish....she ate half a fillet on this one, of course she ate the thin end, but she loved the taste of seasoning, thank you for helping me get her to eat fish

This was super impressive & easy to make. I didn't have cornmeal so I substituted corn starch & used extra virgin olive oil in lieu of butter. I also recommend squeezing a wedge of lemon over the fish after removing it from the skillet.

Delicious!! We're always looking for new ways to cook fish. This had a nice "fried" taste but not the fat & grease. My ONLY change I made was I used Extra Virgin Olive Oil instead of butter for the healthy Omega 3. We'll definitely fix this again.

I'm not quite sure what I did wrong, but I didn't think this fish had very much flavor at all. I was afraid it was going to be too spicy with all the pepper but the only thing I left out (by accident) was the black pepper and it just seemed like it needed something else. It looked very pretty but we had to add salt and lemon and it still was just okay. I'll try again and maybe add some garlic or lemon.

OMG !!! THIS IS A WINNER.. A MUST TRY.I EVEN GOT A PAT ON THE BACK FOR COOKING THIS TONIGHT.WONDERFUL,TASTE GREAT.BETTER THAN PLAIN FRIED CATFISH.MY FAMILY WANTS IT AGAIN REAL SOON.GOOD JOB!!!!

I'm not a fish fan, but I make it once a week because it's a good protein and source of omega. That being said, I decided to give this a try. I used tilapia rather than catfish (I maybe the only TN native that can't stand catfish - LOL) and swapped the tsp of onion powder and 1/4 tsp garlic salt for 1 tsp of garlic powder and 1/4 tsp onion salt. I cooked the fish in a bit of garlic butter, squirted some lemon juice on top and sprinkled liberally with McCormick's Cajun seasoning while the fish was cooing. This did not taste fishy at all! I'll be making this again.

Husband loves catfish, and this recipe had a perfect combination of seasonings. The only thing I dislike about frying catfish is that it really stinks up my house. Other than that, this was great. Thanks!

great great great I really don't like fish but since hubby loves to fish i try to eat some of it. he caught a huge 5 pound bass today and i used this recipe..i had 2 pieces and loved it, would make this again

Good breading

I don't recall having ever had catfish before trying this recipe. My husband is from the South, and he LOOOOOVES catfish. I cut the basil down to about half and I omitted the white pepper. I only used a few grinds of pepper and two pinches of cayenne. He said it needed more cayenne, but I didn't want it too spicy for our daughter. I used three fillets totalling one pound and around two TBS each of butter and vegetable oil. The batter ended up pretty crusty, almost like if it had been deep-fried. He said it was pretty good (high praise coming from that fish-lover!) and my daughter and I enjoyed it too. Thanks for sharing, Traci!

This taste really great!

Good recipe. Leftovers make great fish filet sandwiches too.

pretty good, but next time around im gonna pop 'em in the oven on a rack after i fry 'em.

we just finished eating dinner and this was one of the the best fish recipes i ever cooked. Simple and easy. I did but half of cup of butter instead.
