I'm excited. I thought I had all the spices I need but I need to get about four more.

I talked about Cajan food this morning on my date and I was happy to see the catfish at the supermarket later

Never buy catfish from a grocery store is you have a seafood market close,the catfish they sell at the grocery store are litteraly the worst type to eat.If you have a seafood market near by the types you want go in this order

Yellow(flathead,shovelhead,Op,opelousas catfish)
Blue catfish
Gaftopsail catfish
Chanel cats(what you buy in the store).

Once you've had them side by side you'll probably never want another channel cafish,but you'll never find the others unless you fish or have a seafood market nearby .

The lack of cornmeal suggests noobism.



very true


i like my catfish blackened.

find a good blackening dry rub and pan fry that bad boy.
catfish is awesome.


try this

2 tablespoons hungarian paprika
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
½ teaspoons crushed fennel
2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground cayenne
1/2tsp onion pwdr
1/2tsp mustard pwdr
add a dash of habenero powder

salt to taste when its all done

rub olive oil all over the fillets and cover them in this dry rub
then fry them over a high heat with a little olive oil in the pan.
that dry rub will darken and kinda carmelize and its so friggin delicious.



If you've never blackened a fish...look it up and watch a video of someone doing it.

ok...2 thoughts for when you do the next catfish.

1. salt/pepper after soaking in buttermilk, coat with cornmeal and deep fry.


2. season up flour (ur choice after salt/pepper). keep back some of this for the batter.
To make the batter add small amounts of beer (or whatever u want) and mix smooth. Once smooth THIN the batter. Make it so thin you think it is ruined.

Dredge fish in flour, dip in batter and deep fry. (this makes great bacon, btw)

everyone should try the bacon, btw

Thanks Friar for that recipe too.

I ate catfish years ago on vacation that I caught in the lake but we didnt season it with anything special and it didnt taste too good. Looking forward to trying these recipes

Nail it to a board, season to taste then bake, throw out the catfish and eat the board.



Good advice. Catfish sucks.



Catfish is great. You just can't cook it the way you cook other fish.

Catfish > salmon IMO if only because salmon is super overrated.



AH HA!!! yuki finally admits that his opinions are conditionally based on the opinions of others.
what a sad sad man.
