This looks good! I've only eaten Catfish once and liked it. It was while on vacation in Florida. Our grocery stores up in MA do not sell Catfish often, but I have your recipe the next time I see it in our fish dept. Thanks!

my mother was from Arkansas and we had catfish frys often. Her recipe was similar but only flour, cornmeal, salt & pepper, yours sounds much better since I like more spices than may parents did. I will try this as soon as possible. thanks!
