Am I losing my mind!!!

[donleyk]

I have looked high and low and can not find any mention of a (something)-crusted catfish. I have looked in the recipes and searched in Good Foods. Worse, I then remembered I have the October issue of CL with me, so I go to the index and there is NO mention of this. I could have sworn it was October. Really, I must have dreamed this! Is this familiar to anyone? I wanted to stop at the store and purchase what I don't have at home to make it so ANY help would be wonderful! TIA.

Thanks for posting this recipe.

I made this last night along with the stewed tomatoes with okra and the fried green tomatoes. It was an awesome meal.

Good Question!! However, I think most are farm raised today. (Or atleast I have assumed they are):rolleyes:
