It's been awhile since I made this. It's one of my favorite uses of the catfish I catch while camping or fishing at my favorite little lake.
I make some crawfish etouffee first....
using a blonde butter roux.
add crawfish tails...
While the etouffee simmers on low, I get the catfish ready. Blackened seasoning for some and cornmeal/cayenne coating for the rest.
I make Paul Prudohomme's recipe for blackened seasoning and tweak it to my taste buds.
set up my fancy cooker, section of pipe, expanded metal grate, hot water heater burner, rebar legs...
Heat some oil first for the fried catfish..
Dumped the oil, wiped the skillet, added butter for the blackened catfish..
I can never decide on one or the other so I go for one of each.
Smother with the crawfish etouffee and supper is ready!
By the time supper was ready, it was sprinkling, so I decided to sit on the front porch and enjoy the rain.
First a bite of the blackened catfish...
Then I dug into the fried catfish...
I can't decide on a favorite. I liked both!
One of my favorite uses of summertime catfish. :grin:
Thanks for looking!
