Pretzel-Crusted Catfish Bites image

I'm not a big fish lover, so any concoction that has me loving fish is a keeper in my book. This combination of flavors just works for me. It's wonderful served with a nice buttery herb rice pilaf and corn muffins with honey! -Kelly Williams, Forked River, New Jersey

The catfish bites were a little overcooked, but the pretzel crust was still delicious. I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

These catfish bites were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The catfish bites were crispy and flavorful, but the pretzel crust was a bit too salty for my taste.

The pretzel crust was a bit too hard for my liking. I think I'll try using a softer pretzel next time.

I love the combination of flavors in this recipe. The pretzel crust is salty and crunchy, and the catfish is tender and flaky. It's a perfect appetizer or main course.
