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.

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.

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.

I can't decide on a favorite. I liked both!

One of my favorite uses of summertime catfish. :grin:

Thanks for looking!
 
Oh, wow.

That looks ah-mazing!

I haven't had Cajun flavors in a long while.... need to fix that soon. Thank you, Jeanie!
 
Thanks so much Shadow! I forgot to mention, I put some of the blackening seasoning in the etouffee this time. I liked the "kick". :grin:
 
Simply DIVINE. Seems like you have a few leftover rolls of hay and a stockpile of freshly rolled bales.Our first cutting is ready now , ,whenever the rain subsides.That dish looks delectable.:clap2:

Thanks Hoss! Yep, there are a few more bales elsewhere. The cattle and horses are happy to see spring arrive and to have the tender green grass back. lol
Good luck with your baling! :grin:

Thanks so much! I really enjoy this dish. Both catfish and the etouffee are my favorites, they just seem to go together. :grin:
 
Beautiful plate of deliciousness Jeanie along with some amazing photography.
 
That is a very good looking meal and that finished plate...beautiful! If you need help picking one fish...blackened every day. Even though I grew up with just cornmeal and seasonings, after I had my first blackened fish, I was sold. Nice job on all the grub :thumb:.
 
That’s looks SO GOOD. Doesn’t get any better than that. I’d go all blackened but that’s just me. :)

Finish that meal off with some beignets!
