When my neighbor prepared these large full-flavored sandwiches, I had to have the recipe. Strips of catfish are treated to a zesty Cajun cornmeal breading, then served on a bun with packaged broccoli coleslaw mix dressed in a homemade sauce. —Mildred Sherrer Fort Worth, Texas

delicious! I could not find catfish at my local grocery store so I used sunfish instead and adjusted the cookin time accordingly

I love love loved the sauce the slaw was made of. I also liked the heat in the catfish breading. The catfish crisped up very nicely and had a wonderful color upon cooking. My husband even liked these and he's not a catfish fan.

Excellent recipe! The broccoli slaw on it calms the hot flavors of the cayenne pepper and Cajun seasoning and really adds to it. Plus the kaiser rolls make this a hearty and delicious sandwich. Cutting the fillets into 2 1/2 inches gives more flavoring, but makes it a little more difficult to eat. My husband and I both enjoy this recipe.
