Catfish n Hushpuppies

[OSD]

Great job Jeanie !!!! My favorite fried fish and of course hush puppies are a must. :thumb::thumb:

 

[Dr. Trout Bum]

Jeanie - that looks amazing, as always! More than that, I'm always impressed by your ability to invent new cooking toys! Your posts (and the content on your blog) inspire me to get out and be creative.

I've actually been craving some hush puppies with some green chile in them...think I'll do that when my daughter comes home from college for spring break.


And with this post...I'm now a full fledged farker. Thanks to the brethren for all the education. Someday, I'll give back more.

Good looking dish. I must say you have some cool looking cookers.

Jeanie I'll take your non-fancy over anybody else's fancy every single time. Catfish is one of my favorites and I loves me some hushpuppies as well. I'm loving how you catch and clean the fish, build the cooker, and cook the meal - that's a real woman right there! :clap2: You rock! :rockon:

All those beautiful pictures and no recipe? Well done Jeanie and I love your outdoor cooker.

Looks like that cooker works just fine.
The catfish & hushpuppies look excellent. :thumb:

Had catfish and hushpuppies at a local joint the other night that was pretty good but that looks awesome and makes me hungry for fish again!

I'm not gonna lie, I'm not a fan of fish. But that looks amazing. And I could do some serious damage to those puppies.

Great job

Thank you Mike, Buccs and Matt!

If you want more fish in your freezer, so you can invite all of us, go fishing in Italy.

Wow! Not sure I would want to bring that one in... I'd probably drop my line and run. :laugh:

I would have no problem eating that whole tray!
Hushpuppies are on my short list of things to try as well. I think I have a recipe floating around somewhere.

Great cook Jeanie and you fixed up your cooker too!

Thank you Sam! The little cooker works a lot better now. Hope winter is treating you well!

Thank you Snapper and Shinka! :grin:

Are you sure that you're not from the Gulf Coast?? Looks dang tasty, ms Jenie

Gerard, I was at the gulf recently... really enjoyed the fresh seafood down there. You've got it made. Thanks friend! :-D

Thank you Blue, Chris and Jack!

Jalapeno Hush puppies and fresh catfish. Life is good!!!

Adams, thanks! Hope you aren't buried in snow today. It's getting deep up this way. :becky:

Thank you PapaQ, George and Jim.. :thumb:

Thank you Trout Bum! I've definitely enjoyed your posts and recipes. I appreciate what you contribute to the forum! Your green chile sauce is still my favorite. :thumb:

FC BBQ, thanks so much. I have too many cookers but I seem to use them all. :-D

Greg, for a second I thought you were going to say "that's a real redneck right there". :laugh: Thank you for the kind comment.. :hug:

Great job

Will, thanks! Sometimes cold beer and hush puppies are all a person needs. :-D

For the catfish coating I eyeball it, combine cornmeal with a little bit of flour, cayenne, salt and lemon pepper.

For the hushpuppies, I mix 1 cup of flour with one cup of cornmeal, a heapin' tsp. of baking powder, a pinch of salt.
Then add 2 eggs, enough milk to make a thick batter, minced jalapeno, corn and onions. I usually just eyeball it but this is pretty close to the measurements. :-D
Thanks again Terry!

No, no, no. Thank you Jeanie. It must get tiring, us all wanting to steal your recipes, but that's what you get for always making great looking food!

 

[Happy Hapgood]

I too have the fishin' fever. Your cook looks great!

 

[Blythewood BBQ'er]

Nice fish fry cowgirl!

 

[ttix]

Love it so simple yet so outstanding !
:idea:
Now I need to go on a camping trip for sure this summer.

 

[Parm]

Had to put a new burner in my fancy cooker. The old burner lasted a long time, it's a burner from an old hot water heater....but it was time to replace it.

The cooker is made from a section of pipe, rebar legs, expanded metal and the burner. It's not pretty but I love the thing, it works great.


The old burner...

decided to try it out on some of the catfish I caught this summer...

The fishin' hole...

The snow has melted so I cooked on the patio...

trimmed and seasoned the fish...

hushpuppy batter... I like onions, corn and jalapenos in mine.

That's pretty much it... catfish, hushpuppies and a cold coors light for supper...

Another non-fancy meal but I enjoyed it. It was a nice reminder of summer and the lake. I'm ready to go back!


Thanks for looking!

The hushpuppies look amazing and something I've never tried before. Will you share the recepie and some instructions as it's definitely one to add to my to cook list

 

[SGH]

Ma'am, that grub looks phenominal. Killer cook for sure :clap: If you need some help eating it, I'm just a plane ride away!!

Not tiring at all Terry! My cookin' is pretty straight forward simple. Thank you for the kind comment! :hug:

I too have the fishin' fever. Your cook looks great!

Love the fish photos you post in WP! You've really got it made. Thanks Toast! :becky:

Bly, thank you very much!!

ttix, thank you too. Hope you take pic for me when you go!

Thank you Parm!
Here is the basic recipe for the hush puppies..

1 cup of flour with one cup of cornmeal, a heapin' tsp. of baking powder, a pinch of salt.
Then add 2 eggs, enough milk to make a thick batter, minced jalapeno, corn and onions. I usually just eyeball it but this is pretty close to the measurements.
I combine the dry ingredients first, then add the beaten eggs and milk. When the batter is fairly thick, I add the corn, onions and peppers.
Drop by spoonful into the hot oil and cook until brown.
Check the first one, break it open and make sure it's cooked through. If it's still raw you can fry them at a lower heat to make sure they are cooked.
Hope that makes sense. Let me know if it doesn't! :grin:
Good luck and thanks again Parm!
