Summertime Catfish n Crawfish Etouffee

[cowgirl]

Using up some of the catfish I brought home from camp trips this summer.

Made my crawfish etouffee first...

made a blonde butter roux...
added the veggies, stock, seasonings...

crawfish tails...

let the pot simmer on low while I cooked the catfish..

Made a blackening seasoning blend for some of the fish...

and a cornmeal coating for the rest of the fish..

set up the fancy cooker... and started with the fried fish...

Wiped the skillet out, added a dab of butter and cooked the blackened catfish..

Grabbed one of each and smothered em with etouffee...

a bite of the blackened catfish n etouffee..

and a bite of the fried catfish n etouffee..

One of my favorite reasons to go fishing during the summer. lol

Thanks for looking!

Heck yeah!

That looks great! Best eating there is right there. My two favorite ways to cook fish. And one of the best shellfish with it. :hungry:
