I've had better catfish pecan with meuniere sauce. The fish was a bit dry and the sauce was too thin.

The catfish pecan with meuniere sauce was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and the pecans were a bit overpowering.

This dish is a great way to enjoy catfish. The pecans add a nice crunch, and the meuniere sauce is rich and creamy.

I've tried this recipe twice now, and it's been a hit both times! The catfish is crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside, and the sauce is creamy and flavorful.
