Catfish n Crawfish Etouffee

[cowgirl]

Some of the catfish I caught on my last camp trip.

I made a blackened seasoning blend first...

Then started a blonde butter roux..

Next cane the scallions, onions, garlic, celery, and peppers...

added some of the blackened seasoning... I've used this in the past and really liked the outcome.

added shrimp stock and crawfish tails...

decided to add shrimp this time too..

let the pot simmer while I cooked the catfish..

Went with the usual, cornmeal, fried catfish and blackened catfish..

set up my fancy cooker...

Fried the cornmeal mixture fish first...

wiped the skillet and added butter for the blackened fish...

Opted for one of each.

Smothered with crawfish etouffee and called er good.

Went for a fried catfish bite first..

Then a blackened catfish bite...

I know I make this too often, it's one of the reasons I love fishing. :grin:

Thanks for looking!

Just leaves me speechless...again...

I bet I could cook like that if I had a fancy cooker...

Thanks Jeanie. I've been needing some inspiration lately.

Thanks Andy! I always go with a blond butter roux on crawfish etouffee but go with darker rouxs on gumbo. Just the way mom taught me. :grin:
Hope all is well on your end of the world!

Girl, I can't say how good that looks. Should I txt the coordinates of my next camp (probably the Blue River) to you? That is sooo much better than my camp food its embarrassing. Guess I need to up my game.

 

[NoOne]

Yup - that really looks damn good.

When am I going to learn to never open one of your cook threads before I have had breakfast???
You have a very special talent and it shows every time you fire up one of your cooking devices. Absolutely amazing!
