This recipe is a keeper! The catfish was cooked perfectly and the cornmeal crust was crispy and flavorful. I served it with coleslaw and hush puppies, and it was a hit with my family. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a disaster! The cornmeal crust didn't stick to the catfish and the fish was completely overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The cornmeal crust was a bit too thick and the catfish was a bit dry. I would probably try a different recipe next time.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The catfish is always flaky and juicy, and the cornmeal crust is so crispy and flavorful. I love that I can make it in my air fryer, which makes it a healthier option.
