    PaulaG's Note:

    I have always been a fan of catfish. We lived in Baton Rouge, LA several years ago and I became a fan of blackened catfish. This is a wonderful recipe that is quick to fix.

      I thought this was a good recipe. I generally like spicy things, but I thought 1 tsp was just a bit much for the rub. If I make this again, I would reduce it to 3/4 tsp. Thanks for posting, it was first time cooking catfish, easy and yummy. EDIT: I used the leftover catfish in burritos the next day and they were great!

      Out of the catfish world! Nice bite, but not too much. We have a glasstop stove, so I cooked in a hot skillet for the cooking time suggested. Delish. Made for an Epicurean Queen for ZWT5. My pic isn't as nice as nimz, so I'll just post to the forum. Will certainly make again.

      This was my first try at blackened catfish, and the 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper concerned me. So, to be sure my lips wouldn't catch fire, I only used 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne. Which turned out to be perfect for us. We have so much catfish on hand, and this is going to be a great alternative to the fried we have always had before. Thanks PaulaG for the recipe and great directions. Made for ZWT5 for the Saucy Senoritas.
