Default Catfish ideas?

Hi, looking for Catfish ideas folks here have actually used and liked.

We will probably do the normal breaded and fried this time but like
ideas for other ways you actually done and liked.

Exactly. That's why they're called cat fish.

Perhaps that is the reason that catfish has such a soft texture. I have
had it a few times and don't much care for it.

All fish eat stuff like that. You don't really think that tinned
kippered herring or whitefish or whatever comes from extremely clean
water, do you? Fish aren't particularly choosy about what they eat and
they do all poop in the same water they dine in.

Herring come from pretty clean waters (compared to most fish), and
they are healthy for humans, sustainable, and they aren't bottom
feeders (they don't eat shit). And I just ate a whole one 30 seconds
ago (a rollmop).

It's especially bad in farmed fish. They keep them confined in pens and
they are pretty densely packed. Large amounts of food are shovelled in
and there is a bit of a feeding frenzy, and fish crap when they eat, so
that crap is floating around in the water with the food they are
snapping at.

Shrimp and pig farms are probably the same way.

I had a client that had a shrimp farm. This guy is a brilliant person. He's had many different farms. I think these days he raises pigs and also sets up luaus. He'll sell you the pig and cook it too - brilliant. He used to raise shrimp and fish and other things - including frogs and taro. Most aqua-farms are at sea level. This guy had his farm in the mountains - brilliant. The clean mountain waters just flowed through his ponds. He researched the foods for his fishes and imported them from the mainland - brilliant. The food and water made his shrimp exceptionally large and in demand. One day, after a flash flood, the mountainside came down on his farm. He was lucky that him and his wife wasn't there at the time. They, along with their truck, would have just been buried and would have simply disappeared until someone in the future happened to find them. He said he didn't think anyone would bother to dig through tons of dirt to check if they were in there.

They alternate swai and tilapia in the ponds. They feed the tilapia
fish food and then harvest them. Then stock the muddy pond with
swai (a type of Asian catfish - a bottom feeder) and they eat up all
the tilapia poop and then they're harvested. The some water
conditioners and back to tilapia again.

I've got a couple of ideas but it depends on how much time you care to
spend. One of my Signature Dishes (it's on the RFC web site) is for
Stuffed Flounder. It's a recipe I re-created from when I worked at Red
Lobster when I was 20. I've made it using catfish and even tilapia
(back when I could find decent tilapia). Mild white flaky fish.

Jill's Stuffed Flounder (for two)

4 flounder fillets, about 1-1/2 lbs. of like size
1/4 c. minced onion
1/4 c. minced celery
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-1/2 Tbs. mayonnaise
dash Tabasco sauce
dash cayenne pepper
dash salt
4 Tbs. butter
1/2 c. dried breadcrumbs
1/4 tsp. dry mustard
1 Tbs. lemon juice
6 oz. flaked crabmeat
2 oz. diced shrimp
2-3 Tbs. melted butter
Sweet ground paprika for colour
1/2 c. milk
vegetable cooking spray

Preheat oven to 350F. Saute onion, celery and garlic in 4 Tbs. butter
until translucent. Transfer to a mixing bowl and combine with
breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, dry mustard. Add crabmeat and shrimp, Tabasco,
cayenne, lemonjuice, salt, pepper. Blend well to make stuffing. Spray a
13X9 inch baking dish with vegetable cooking spray.

Place 2 flounder fillets in the dish. Spoon the crabmeat stuffing onto
the center of the fillets, mounding it up in the center. Split the
remaining fillets in half lengthwise.

Wrap each of the two halves around the stuffing on top of the stuffed
fillet, covering the sides but leaving the stuffing visible in the
center. Secure overlapping ends with toothpicks if needed. Brush all
over with melted butter. Sprinkle with paprika. Pour the milk around the
fish (this keeps the fish moist during baking). Bake for 20-25 minutes
until fish flakes easily with a fork, brushing with melted butter about
halfway through cooking. Serves 2 very generously.

NOTE: Works well with any mild white fish fillets
****************

The second recipe I also re-created after eating it at The Bayou Bar and
Grill in Memphis. (I just love doing that! Dissect a recipe eaten in a
restaurant based on the taste and re-create it at home.)

I posted the recipe last Fall when I couldn't sleep and got bored with
the trolls. I was trying to get food and cooking talk back on track.

You'd have to be able to find crawfish tail meat for this one. I was
able to find it in Memphis back then and am a bit surprised but I can
find it here in South Carolina.

Catfish Acadian:

2 lb. catfish fillets (you could use any mild white fish)
seasoned flour for coating
olive oil
butter
diced onions, garlic and/or shallots*
diced bell pepper
diced celery
1/2 lb. crawfish tail meat, thawed
3 large raw shrimp, shelled and chopped
1/2 pint or a tad more, whole cream
salt & cayenne pepper to taste

Lightly coat the catfish fillets in seasoned flour. Pan fry in olive
oil with a bit of butter until golden brown and tender. Plate and hold
in a warm oven.

There are no measurements, per se, for most of this. Eyeball it. This
serves 2 people.

In another pan, saute the onion, garlic/shallots with the bell pepper
and celery in butter and oil until tender and translucent. Add the
crawfish tail meat (it's already cooked, just needs a quick heat) and
the shrimp and cook until just pink. Stir in the cream. Season with
salt and cayenne pepper. Spoon the crawfish/shrimp sauce over the pan
fried catfish.

*I use garlic; the chef told me they use a combination of both. Yes, I
actually called and talked with the chef. He was not at all hesitant to
discuss it since I started off with "Here's what I did but it's missing
something." Turns out I'd forgotten the celery. Ooops! There's that
"trinity" thing again. I knew better, simply forgot it. Then he
mentioned shallots but the quantity is hardly worth making the
distinction. He was actually quite pleased that I liked the dish well
enough to re-create it at home. It really is delicious!

HTH,

Jill

Bless you! The second one is what I want to try first. Sounds

Oh God, so that's why you're John's little rimjob bitch. It's your version of
washing Jesus' feet. You found your "least of these," and you're stickin' to
him. There are certainly more deserving "fowls of the air," but you picked
Bachelor Kuthe. St. Peter might let you in, but odds are he'll be rolling his
eyes.

How did this food conversation between Jill and Carol devolve into
.... that out of place bullshit? Did you fall off the wagon again
and bump your widdle head?

Save the bullshit for bullshit threads. And even then, this is still
a head-scratcher. Oh look, here comes Gregory for some anal sex.
You scored, Bryan!

That recipe is the quickest and the easiest and so very delicious. I
take it you can find crawfish tail meat? The quick very tasty sauce for
this dish is absolutely incomplete without it. And, of course, the
celery. LOL I'll never forget it again.

If you try it please do report back.

Hehe in a hurry and watching gas crazies here, we went a totally
different direction but I saved your recipe. It was insane here. 80% of
the gas stations out totally. Anyways, for 2 charmers. Sorry, no pics
just now but I have 1 saved where we are midway with some cooked, some
in fryer, and some waiting for their turn.

I'll describe what we did. I resourced (searched alternatives on
google) for some things that I didn't have. Like a normal to Don
breading mix he uses and went back to basics of staples we have here
(he had fun and now likes it better). I resourced (searched) for a
tartar sauce with no pickles as didn't have any.

Here the results.

A flat plate with a lip, 3 in line, happen to be 11 inches across.
Gently graduated.

For the fried fish
Fish: 1.30lbs Catfish fillets (boneless)
- Don cut to nuggets as that fits our deep fryer better
Flour plate- about 1/3 cup flour, 1 tsp salt, 2tsp black pepper
Egg plate- 2 eggs mixed up in a cup and poured in
Potato plate- probably 1/3 cup instant potato flakes

Flour fish well then drop and roll in egg wash then coat in potato
flakes. It took 4 batches for 1.30lbs to fit ours just right without
crowding.

Result. Very tender, very good. I rate this a 4 only because I know it
can be tender but if you use a real scale for your home cooking, 4 is a
very good marker.

My apologies. I was not willing to expend gas just now to get to the
store, even if it is close.

So next is: No Tartar sauce and no pickles or 'relish'.


Tartar sauce with no Pickles
This one suprised me with it's simplicity. I wasn't sure it would work
but in a pinch it really did!

1/2 C Mayo
1 TBSP MS Dash (origional recipe)

Worked! I think I used more mayo and more MS Dash but I was not far
off. I mixed it at about 11am and we taste tested and it seemed a good
alternative. Let is meld in the fridge for 6 or so hours before dinner
and it was actually very good!

All in all a success even if if wasn't as planned but when I asked, I
didn't know we would have a massive sudden gas availability issue here
and I had to resort to what I had here at home. I am sure Jill, you
understand that!

For sides, we had a bunch of fresh cucumber slices with a spicy french
dressing and fresh fruit (Mango and strawberries) that we had on hand.

Is it real Tartar sauce? No. It just works well enough in a pinch and
oddly, it's a good thing on it's own.

Clarification. It's hard to make Catfish not tender. What I meant is
more spice might make this hit my 5 scale for home. It has to be one
that can deepfry and hold but I didn't try it.
