Expert Tips

Finely ground pecans can be purchased at the grocery store. Or, grind pecans in a food processor, pulsing often until finely ground but not "butter". Store extra amounts airtight in the freezer for the next time you make the recipe.

We loved the baked catfish. It was very easy to make. We didnot put the paprika or red pepper. Will make it again. Will tell others about it. I have very good luck with your recipes. Thank you.
