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.

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!

Very tasty and the tartar sauce is excellent. I used dill rather than sweet relish and a little extra horseradish.

Made for the Best of 2008 cookbook game, we do not get catfish in Iceland & I used haddock for this recipe w/my supply of Tony Chachere's Famous Creole Seasoning by Miss Annie for the Cajun seasoning + Tobasco for the hot sauce in both the fish & the tartar sauce. Made as written & served w/oven-baked potato wedges & cucumber salad, both were such a treat to eat! The # of servings will depend largely on what is served w/it. 5 oz servings (4) were sml & 10 oz servings (2) too lrg, so 3 adult servings seems right to me. The nutritional data is skewed by the 8 cups of oil (1 cup for ea 2.5 oz of fish to fry) & should be reduced IMO. I know I did not use near that amt. That said, we so enjoyed this fish & esp the tartar sauce like most reviewers. Thx for sharing this great recipe w/us.

I just made the tarter sauce, but it was the best tarter sauce I have ever had! Thanks!

Barb-this is for the tarter sauce! I had another recipe for the catfish, but couldn't resist the sauce when I read the ingredients. It is great, and will be just as good tomorrow on catfish sandwiches. Thanks, Carole in Orlando

This is now my mom's and my favorite dish to make when she visits. She really loves spicy fried fish and this is a winner. The tartar sauce is great too. I've made it with and without the capers and I like it with the capers better.

This was fantastic. Everybody who likes catfish needs to use this recipe. You will not be disappointed. The breading was easy and delish! And the sauce was right on! Thanks for the recipe, Barb!
