The egg whites keep the moisture in the fish, I strongly suggest to serve this with creamy lemon sauce (recipe below) it is what makes this extra special and the sauce takes only minutes to make, it can be made up to 1 day ahead if desired, using low-fat sour cream for the sauce will reduce the some of the fat content, using fat-free sour cream it will make it almost totally fat-free, although I have never used fat-free sour cream I cannot say it will be okay, you can of coarse use full-fat sour cream if you wish! Adjust the cayenne pepper to taste.

Number Of Ingredients 7

7 large catfish fillets
2 -3 teaspoons seasoning salt

This recipe is a keeper! The catfish was cooked to perfection and the breading was crispy and flavorful. I served it with a side of coleslaw and hush puppies, and it was a perfect meal.

I love this recipe! The catfish is always cooked perfectly and the breading is flavorful and crispy. I've also tried it with other types of fish, like tilapia and cod, and it's always delicious.

This recipe was a disaster. The catfish was dry and overcooked, and the breading was bland. I won't be making this again.

I love spicy food, so I was excited to try this recipe. The catfish was cooked perfectly and the breading was nice and crispy. The only thing I would change is to add a little more spice.

This recipe was easy to follow and the catfish turned out great! I used tilapia instead of catfish and it was still delicious.

This catfish recipe was a hit with my family! The fish was flaky and moist, and the spicy breading was flavorful without being overpowering. I served it with a side of coleslaw and hush puppies, and it was a perfect meal.
