Crisp-Crusted Catfish

I made this several times years ago but lost the recipe when we changed to the South Beach Diet.  I found it again yesterday after purchasing catfish on sale.  My fish turned out crispy.  Hubby loved it.  The only change I made was adding a little more parmesan cheese & cajun spices to the cornmeal/flour mixture.  Hubby has requested that we have it again.

The flavor was good, but it was not crispy at all. I would not make again and will look for another healthy "crispy" catfish recipe.

This is my go to catfish recipe. Turns out nice & crunchy (I usually spray the pan & the tops of the fish prior to baking) with a good flavor & flaky fish. I usually serve with okra/tomatoes, cheese grits, corn bread & lima beans for a good southern meal without the grease. If there are any leftovers, they go well in fish tacos.

Are there seriously 87 grams of protein in a single serving of this fish? Something seems off . . .

I thought this was ok, but nothing amazing about it. It was easy and light-tasting and looked fried, but definitely didn't taste fried. ;-) I served with goat cheese scalloped potatoes.

I thought this was terrible. It didn't turn out as crispy as promised, and I didn't like the flavor at all.

Great flavor.
