Some Catfish n Okra

[cowgirl]

Another camp meal at the lake. I was lucky enough to catch a few catfish, and brought some okra with me from the garden. I'm actually tired of hushpuppies right now so okra sounded good.

I didn't take a pic of the catfish, but they looked just like the last ones.

Got a fire going..

coated the catfish in a cornmeal, flour, cayenne, lemon pepper, salt blend...

I ate quite a few, hot off the fire, so by the time they were finished, I was pretty full.
I settled down with a few, a cold beer and enjoyed the evening.

It was a nice night!

Thanks for looking!

Good looking plate of food there. With the temps dropping, I should find some time for some fishing myself.

Looks awesome! Wife won't eat seafood, so I rarely get fish. I do the occasional salmon on the Blackstone...really need to get something to fry.

Looks great Jeanie! Like that custom koozie as well. :clap2:

 

[Happy Hapgood]

Just YUM.

Looks great neighbor - Relaxing evening!

Caught a few trout with the grandkids but just cooked in foil on the coals with butter garlic salt and pepper. We caught just enough for lunch and the little buggers got me to debone them all for them.

Great looking fish!

I will have to try okra one of these days.

As always, the food looks great. I love okra too.



What variety do you grow? I grow a variety called Louisiana Green Velvet. It is a very heavy producer and the pods stay viable up to 6-8 inches and sometimes longer before they turn woody. The plants also bush out as they grow. My plants are over ten feet tall right now. You should try to find some seeds for next year and try a few plants.



What bait do you use for the Cat Fish?


Thanks,


Robert

Looks good. Used to wade rivers up north fishing for catfish. Miss that.

Looks great, Jeanie! I know what you mean about eating "hot off the fire". When I do a fish fry l'm full when it's time to sit down to eat.

Fantastic, as always!

I wish I could be tired of hush puppies! :laugh: I don't eat them often, but I sure do love 'em!

Catfish and okra - that's getting right to it, Jeanie - love that stuff - a lot! Nice cooking right there - the food and setting look fantastic, and I have no doubt you & yer crew had a fantastic, relaxing time.

Thanks so much! Too bad about your Mrs.. I have friends who won't eat fish too. I bet your Blackstone salmon is delicious!:grin:

Looks great Jeanie! Like that custom koozie as well. :clap2:

Thank you John! That koozie has been through a lot. lol

Just YUM.

Thanks Mike! :hug:

Shoot... Your trout sounds amazing Neighbor! Bet the grandkids will remember the experience for the rest of their lives. Thanks! :grin:

Thank you Daddy-O! Okra is one of my favorites, if it's fried. :grin:

Thank you Robert! I like the sound of the Louisiana Green Velvet. Will look for seeds here. I planted a variety this year. Some that I had from last year, mostly Clemson Spineless. They always grow so fast, I have a hard time keeping up with them before they get too big. I slice and roll the okra in cornmeal, then bag and freeze. Also make pickled okra. Your variety sounds like what I need. Thanks for the info!
My favorite catfish bait is Sonny's. I also use worms and minnows. :grin:

Thanks George! I really like the little lake. If I hit it during the week, it's quiet. :grin:

That is so talking to me!

Thank you Blue! I'd share if you lived closer. lol

Looks like a great feed and a fantastic evening!
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Terry! It was a nice week. I need to go one more time before winter sets in. :grin:

Jim, I bet that was fun!! I'm not brave enough to noodle but an not opposed to walking a river. lol Thanks!

Thanks Gary! I envy you and your fishing. You have it made. I imagine your fish fries are fantastic! :grin:

Fantastic, as always!

Thanks so much Lunchman! :grin:

lol Greg! You can have my share of hushpuppies. Not sure what's going on, I'm tired of cheese too. Hope I get over it. :laugh:
Thanks Greg... It was a nice week.
