This has become my favorite fish dish. I actually don't add the garlic, mostly because I've been relying on my memory when I prepare it and forgot. When we haven't had it for a week or so I start to crave it. My grandchildren really like it. My ten year old granddaughter had the leftovers for lunch the next day.

The taste was great! I ended up having to drain them on paper towels though because it was a tad greasy but it was a great alternative to frying!

I have never made catfish and this recipe was perfect! I went a little overboard with the Italian dressing but the fish was perfect!

I used raspberry vinegarette instead of Italian dressing and cornmeal instead of breadcrumbs and it was great.

I thought these cooked very nicely, but the Italian dressing and garlic were too strong for me. Thanks for posting!
