This works well with Talipia also. I didn't have bread to make fresh crumbs from once and used packaged crumbs but I much prefer the fresh crumbs. If you don't have fresh herbs, use half the amounts listed of dried herbs (but fresh is best).

The catfish was a bit bland. I think I will add some more spices next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I'm sure I could adjust the amount of cayenne pepper next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the catfish was overcooked. I think I will cook it for less time next time.

The catfish was cooked perfectly, but the spicy butter sauce was a bit bland. I added some extra spices to give it more flavor.

This dish was amazing! The catfish was crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. The spicy butter sauce was the perfect complement to the fish.
