Pretzel-Crusted Catfish image

I'm not a big fish lover, so any concoction that has me loving fish is a "keeper" in my books. This combination of flavors just works for me. It's wonderful served with a nice buttery herb rice pilaf and corn muffins with butter and honey! -Kelly Williams, Forked River, New Jersey
