This recipe was easy to follow and the catfish turned out great! The cornmeal crust was crispy and the catfish was cooked perfectly. I served it with tartar sauce and coleslaw, and it was a delicious meal.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but it was still delicious. The cornmeal crust was crispy and the catfish was cooked perfectly. I would make this again, but I would use less cayenne pepper.
