    My husband keeps telling me I need to try catfish, so perhaps your coating is the place to start?! The first (and only) time I tasted catfish, it was "bad" (so I was told later), and I can't get past that awful flavor experience. I need to try it again, because I know so many peopel who RAVE about catfish, so I KNOW it can't really be what I tasted years and years ago. I'm willing to give it another try - I've printed out your recipe and I'll go pickup some catfish next time I'm at Costco or Whole Food! I'll let you know how I did!!!

    Excellent recipe, Zena. The 7-up adds to the sweetness of the Catfish. Thanks!

    This sounds so unique. I don't drink soda but I might have to get a 7 up just to try this.

    I'm not a great lover of catfish, but I'd like to try this on other fish. Sounds like a great coating! Never thought of coating fish with grits.

    Z, would you think less of me if I told you I've never had grits and I don't really know where to find them? LOL

    seriously though...
