Catfish n Etouffee

[Happy Hapgood]

you sure you're from oklahoma? that looks pretty legit - coming from a guy that lives in the heart of cajun country.

Well it did. Crawdaddys here in Shreveport. I posted about it and Jeanie did the rest. Makes CD's look lame in comparison to Jeanies but after seeing that, going back for somemore!

Great food and pic's Jeanie! :thumb:

Words just can't describe the wonderful thing you do with food young lady.:thumb:

Thanks so much Sir, very kind of you to say! :-D

It doesn't matter what it is I'm always impressed and wish I were able to have just one or two little bites...Aw hell, at least two plates full, who am I trying to kid!

Shoot Mike, I'd fed ex a bowl your way. Thank you!! :-D

That sounds perfect right now! Not many options for fresh oysters in my neck of the woods. The grocery store will order them for me though.
Dang....now I need to drive to Ok City. lol

Thanks Clay! Sorry there are no catfish up your way, but I bet the fresh trout make up for it. :-D

 

[Clay-b-que]

The trout is great, especially fresh caught and Cooked over a fire, but there is a special place in my belly for fried catfish!!!

There was a place called "Catfish & More" in Muskogee OK near one of our manufacturing plants and when we'd fly in for the day the boys would load us all up and head there for lunch.
Perfect fried catfish filets and sides of fried okra and fried green tomaters.
Yum yum yum.

OMG, do you need a Pool Boy???? You can pay me in food!!!:clap2:

Using up some of the catfish from fishing and camping last summer.

Made a blackening seasoning first..

and a pot of crawfish etouffee...

went with a blonde butter roux...

added crawfish tails...

shrimp stock and fresh parsley...

let the pot simmer on low while frying the catfish..

Used my fancy cooker. Section of pipe, rebar legs, expanded metal grate and hot water heater burner.

I had to set it up out of the wind....

seasoned some of the catfish with the blackened seasoning and some with cornmeal fish fry...

fried the cornmeal catfish first...

then the blackened catfish...

and some blackened shrimp...

The wild turkeys are thick around my place this year. They show up every time I cook outside.

Went with one blackened catfish and one cornmeal fried catfish. Topped with the crawfish etouffee...

A bite of the cornmeal fried....

and a bite of the blackened....

This is one of my favorite ways to prepare catfish. Hopefully I'll catch a few more this summer.


Thanks for looking!

I don't make it to that side of the state very often, usually when passing through. Lots of great fishing lakes in that area.

Sure! I use Paul Prudhomme's recipe and tweak it to suit my taste buds. It's my favorite so far.
Thanks! :-D

1 TBS sweet paprika (I used smoked)
2 1/2 tsp salt ( I used about half)
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper (I used 3/4 tsp)
3/4 tsp white pepper
3/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp thyme
and 1/2 tsp oregano

Shoot, at first I thought they were copying the cook from my blog since it was posted a couple of months before theirs...and they also use a version of Paul's blackening seasoning mix.. http://cowgirlscountry.blogspot.com/2016/03/blackened-and-fried-catfish-smothered.html
They use a store bought seasoning though... There are just as many etouffee recipes in the world as there are gumbos and chili recipes. lol :-D
A LOT of my posts show up on Facebook and Pinterest. One of the reasons I have been marking my photos.
Thanks Terry! :thumb:

That looks unbelievably good!
