Trob1 REVIEW:

Giving 5 stars even though I strayed a little from the recipe. I can tell the original recipe has nice proportion of seasonings, but I went heavy on salt and that was not a good idea. My catfish was in a salt brine, then I used creole seasoning on the fish when I pan seared it, plus salt in batter with more creole seasoning. I was doing too much. Will return with a review using original recipe.
