Fried Catfish Fillets image

Not very many folks in the south that don't love a mess of fried catfish. Whether it be fried, broiled or baked, catfish is good no matter how you fix it. This recipe is for the breaded kind. The breading is especially nice because the cayenne balances the bold flavor of catfish.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste, but it was still a good starting point. I added some extra spices and it turned out great.

This recipe was a disaster. The breading was too thick and the fish was overcooked. I will not be making this again.
