You sure you ain't got just a little bit of southerner in you girl???? I LOVE catfish. In fact I would rather have freshwater fish anyday over salt water speicies. I know I am not going to win any points with Pete from that statement!!!
I just got through baking up 4 catfish fish fillets just a couple of days ago to be honest. BUT you can bet I'm going to try this one as soon as I can get to the store.
