The egg whites keep the moisture in the fish, I strongly suggest to serve this with creamy lemon sauce (recipe below) it is what makes this extra special and the sauce takes only minutes to make, it can be made up to 1 day ahead if desired, using low-fat sour cream for the sauce will reduce the some of the fat content, using fat-free sour cream it will make it almost totally fat-free, although I have never used fat-free sour cream I cannot say it will be okay, you can of coarse use full-fat sour cream if you wish! Adjust the cayenne pepper to taste.

This catfish recipe is a winner! The fish was cooked to perfection and the breading was crispy and flavorful. I served it with coleslaw and hush puppies, and it was a hit with my family and friends.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of spicy food. But I'm so glad I did! The catfish was delicious, and the spice level was perfect. I'll definitely be making this again.
