This is my go-to web site for catfish recipes. I haven't tried them all, but the ones I have have been really good.

Pig farms are disgusting. I used to drive by one on my way to work in
the days before AC and power windows wera almost universal, and it was a
full size pick up, so a long way to reach across to roll up the window.
I occasionally forgot to roll up the windows before I got to the pig
farm, and once that stench got in I needed about 10 miles of driving
with windows open to get it cleared out.

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.

Steve, how can you not have noticed that Carol gives love to Kuthe
every chance she gets? You were correct in connecting Greg to this
post, as I thought he'd find it amusing. You should too. What other
than religious stricture could possibly justify devotion to the pervert
pediatric nurse?

And *food conversation*? WTF else are you going to do with catfish
but fry it? Hushpuppies, a plop of slaw and a big ol' glass of sweet
tea, and you gotcherself a meal fit fer Daisy Mae and Bubba's firs
date.

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.

Oh, describe that if you can? There's always more Catfish!
Interested! Frankly prety close to 50% of our meat consumption is
seafood based.

THank you Silvar. Which ones have you tried and liked? The Cajun one
caught my attention but the pic shows items not in the recipe though
you can sort of guess what they might be.

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.

I wonder if the sun-dry treatment out in the desert southwest for fried catfish would work.

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.

Pulverise it a littel starch, red curry paste, lime leaf, garlic,
ginger, fish sauce, I think pea pods are common, pepper... I'm sure
there's recipes. Then you pat em into disks or extrude them into
shapes and fry.

My brother took us catfish fishing in the Nuuanu Reservoir. We caught some big ones and we took it home and fried it up. It's kind of a tough fish to cut up but it the fillets were large and beautiful looking. It was a firm and tender fish i.e., the perfect texture for fish. The main problem is that it tasted awful. That was a big damn shame.

Smoked Catfish Dip
Macadamia Nut Crusted Catfish
Lemon Pepper Parchment Catfish (easy)
Sesame Crusted Catfish
Eggs Benedict with Shrimp and Catfish Cakes (big brunch hit)

I have the Curried Catfish Cheese Ball and Cajun Catfish Pastries on my "to do" list.

Not on that site, but Blackened Catfish is a treat I've made a couple of times.

Of course, all of these would be good with any mild white fish, like tilapia or haddock, but I like the slightly muddy flavor of catfish.

How did you expect fish that eat shit 24-7 to taste? The catfish
would hang out around the ship's head and wait for someone to flush...
guess where the Ukeleles and Pineapples caught dinner.

Mostly, the problem is that it doesn't live in salt water. Fresh and brackish water fish have a scummy taste. Somebody should invent sea catfish.

Well OK, but okra still tastes slimy and scummy.

I think it depends a lot on the water temperature. Trout that comes from
warm water tends to taste a little muddy. Trout from cold water does not.
