I'm a vegetarian so I made this recipe with tofu instead of catfish. It was delicious!

I'm allergic to catfish so I made this recipe with tilapia instead. It turned out great!

This recipe was a waste of time and ingredients. The catfish was bland and the cornmeal breading was too thick.

I followed the recipe exactly but the catfish didn't come out crispy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I think I overcooked the catfish because it was a little dry. But the cornmeal breading was still really good.

The catfish was a little too oily for my taste, but the cornmeal breading was delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of catfish, but this recipe changed my mind. The fish was so tender and flaky, and the cornmeal breading added a nice crunch.

This buttermilk and cornmeal catfish was absolutely delicious! The fish was crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside, and the cornmeal breading added a wonderful flavor.
