Cornmeal Catfish with Avocado Sauce image

When I was growing up in California, my mother made catfish quite often, and it was always a hit. Now I cook it with my own twist. When only frozen catfish fillets are available, I thaw them in the refrigerator overnight, and they work just as well. -Mary Lou Cook, Welches, Oregon

This recipe was a bit too bland for me. I added some extra spices to the catfish and the avocado sauce and it was much better.

I made this recipe last night and it was a hit! My family loved it. The catfish was crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. The avocado sauce was the perfect complement to the fish.
