Just wanted to share a recipe that I saw on the Southern Living website. When I saw catfish on sale for $2.99 per lb, I figured it was time to try it. This was DELICIOUS and very simple too - I can't wait to serve it to fish-loving friends. I made extra and we had the rest for dinner tonight. It was just as good the next day, reheated in the microwave.

Terrytx, it was delicious. We had salmon yesterday (my DH's fave fish) and he commented how it just doesn't compare to the catfish the other night. You have to understand that HE NEVER talks about food. He just eats it and goes on with life. This is a first for him to bring up a dish. I'm planning on making it again soon.

Sounds like my husband! :rolleyes: I always say "he eats to live and I live to eat!" :D He did, however, go nuts over the Pommes Anna the other night.
