Excellent! The blend of spices was perfect, spicy but not too hot. I would strongly recommend cooking this outside in a cast iron skillet on a side burner on a grill because it's messy.

I made it first with Catfish and enjoyed it. However, I made it later with Cod and it was outstanding. Thank you for this wonderful recipe.

This is a delicious recipe! I thought at first that the seasoning mixture wasn't going to be enough for both the fillets I bought, but it was just the perfect amount. It was very flavorful with just enough spiciness to give it a kick. I needed to cook the fish a little longer than the 3-5 minutes, but overall, this recipe doesn't take much time at all. My husband loved it. I'll definitely make this one again.

What a delicious, authentic dish! The only fault I found with it was that it was too salty. I will reduce the salt next time. The amount of seasonings was perfect for two 1/2lb fillets, covered on both sides. I was able to keep the smoke to a minimum by frying the first side on med-high heat for 2 minutes to get it crispy, then lowering the heat to medium and covering and cooking for 4 or 5 minutes, then turning it over, and doing the same thing. To ensure that the fish was cooked through, but not overcooked, I then took it off the heat and left it covered for another 10 minutes or so. I found the dish extremely easy to prepare and very quick to cook. I will definitely make again.

This was fast and delicious! No funky ingredients and wonderful flavor. A bit too salty for my family's taste, but other than that, we'll definitely make this again. Thank you!

This recipe is great! The only thing I did different is to double the dry ingredients and (excluding the parsley flakes you can add then to the fish before cooking) mixing them in a shaker for the next time.
