2 (6 ounce) cans lump crabmeat, drained and flaked
1 cup Italian-flavored bread crumbs
1 rib celery, finely chopped
2 eggs
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted and divided
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine the crabmeat, bread crumbs, celery, eggs, mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; mix well. Place the catfish fillets on a work surface and season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Spread the crabmeat stuffing equally down the center of each fillet, roll up, and place seam side down in the baking dish. Brush with remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter and sprinkle with paprika. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve immediately.
