    This is an awesome dish and the tartar sauce is to die for! I only used 1 T. of hot sauce for the catfish,but followed the recipe exactly for the rest. The catfish was crispy and well-flavored on it's own, but the tartar sauce definitely pushed it over the top! This is the way I'm making tartar sauce from now on ! Thanks for posting this, Barb!

    This was absolutely delicious! We could not quit eating it. I doubled the recipe and we ate until it was all gone. I will be making this one again. It is a keeper. I am really sorry that I am late on this review. I think that I am about 2 weeks late but I am so happy that I made it. I do have to say that the next time I will cut the salt a little. It wasn't too salty but it made us really thirsty afterwards. This is excellent. Thank you for posting it.
