    My spouse is not a fish eater and when I said the word "catfish", I knew I was in trouble. I don't ever remember eating catfish, so this was to be an adventure ... and off the the market I went.

    It was incredible though it did take longer to cook than the application called for. And my spouse, who was mentally prepared to hate it, ate an entire fillet. I was granted permission to make it again ... even for company! Our side dish was asparagus which went perfectly with the fish.

    'Blackened' is still our favorite, but this sounded too wierd to not try! Glad we did! Based on several 'sauce too thin' reviews: after fish was removed from pan, I mixed 1T flour with 1T melted butter, then wisked that into sauce unitl thickened. VERY nice consistency! Would maybe cut back the Old Bay just a tad.
