  deep fried catfish

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I feel I am a pretty good cook and I love fish, however, when I mad catfish my husband said "I don't like catfish and please don't cook it again". Well I triued it again and the entire family gobbled it up and asked for more. Was it the beer interacting with the levening ingrediants or what? It was delicious!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  FANTASTIC!! Made this about a month ago and did it again last night. This recipe is perfect. Like one reviewer said, I do cut back on the salt mainly because I do not like too much salt in anything. Otherwise.. it is perfect. My mother introduced me to you a while ago, and I am a faithful watcher of your show since. You know your way around the kitchen, and you make cooking fun. It is a joy to see you on Sundays, and I will make sure to tune in every week. And of course I always refer back to your recipes for guidance. Just keep up the good work because your recipes are only a few from these shows that come out exactly as it should!!

  i even used less salt than called for and was surprised at how salty the rub was. otherwise, it was tasty. i'll try again with no salt in the rub before the batter.

  Amazing

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I am very pleased with this recipe. I prepared this dish for my husband, he likes his cat fish fried in cornmeal ONLY. He said this is a keeper, very light and seasoned to perfection. Yes I will fix this dish again. Cannot wait to have a family fish fry. Keep the recipes coming. L, A. from Tempe Az

  Excellent catfish!!!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  This was an absolutely delicious way to make fried catfish! Everyone in my family loved it, especially my 3 year old daughter. We loved the flavor and the crispiness of the batter. It has quickly become a favorite!

  Great Batter

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  Loved the crispiness and loved the taste. A little salty. Next time I will definitely decrease the salt for the fish and for the batter and will try teaspoons of salt nstead of tablespoons.

  Good, but cut back on the salt!

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  Even after using half the salt this recipe called for I think it was still a little on the salty side. Is it supposed to be teaspoons instead of tablespoons? The batter puffed up nicely and it was very good! I'll make this again, minus the excessive amounts of salt.

  Watched the episode and could'nt wait to try out the fritters and slaw. Came out great. Not a big fan of catfish, so used some snapper that we put on the grill. Keep up the great recipes and show.

  Great Cat fish

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  After watching the episode, I learned some great tips on how to fry catfish. The batter is awesome and crispy. The cornmeal really makes it great. I used quinoa flour to avoid gluten and it stilled turned out great. It is messy as all frying is but the seasoning and batter make the clean up worth it. The entire meal including the slaw was great. I highly recommend it.
