Mighty Tasty! After reading the previous reviews, I admit that I made a couple of changes to this dish-- It made a BIG difference. First off, I compared the catfish from our local grocer vs Whole Foods. The WF fillets were thicker and better quality, so I paid a few extra bucks for 1lb (BOTH stores had only farm raised, btw. I tripled the spices and added 6 (yes SIX teaspoons of Tony Chachere's creole seasoning to the buttermilk marinade. Lastly, I used a 50/50 combo of yellow corn meal and Panko breadcrumbs. I couldn't find cornflake crumbs and didn't have time to smash some up myself. The catfish came out tender and flakey. It was a little bit moist on the underside but that's prettty normal for catfish unless you're frying it. I made this dish with the "Red Rice" also featured in the Bayou Mist episode from Sandra Lee. I also served up some coleslaw on the side, but I cheated and used the store kit which included the dressing. Hopefully my review helps. Good luck!

To Trashed it. You were probably using farm raised cat fish. They like the farm raised shrimp can turn out mushy no matter how you cook them
