What are some good and easy-to-make catfish recipes?

Question

What I usually do with my catfish is just fry it in olive oil and eat it with butter. (I'm wary of the broiler.) Are there any other (relatively easy) catfish recipes you like? What kinds of vegetables (besides, like, potatoes) do you pair with it?

Ha. Thanks. I love it, too. It's probably my second favorite after salmon.

Answer 1

I like it fried, but I do it in the oven; it's less greasy. Dip catfish chunks into plain flour and pile up on a plate. Prepare a pan of flour with either lawry's or old bay seasoning and pepper. Mix an egg with milk, dip the floured pieces into the milk and then into the seasoned flour. Fill a frying pan with only enough oil to coat it well, drop the fish pieces in, and as they brown on both sides, transfer to a pyrex pan. This leaves most of the oil in the pan. Bake all the way through. I serve it with tartar sauce -- either a grated cucumber (those little fresh ones are really good) or sweet relish mixed with mayo. I luv catfish!!

hey you only got one answer, I will add another recipe.
Top catfish slices with either fresh tomato slices or canned diced tomatoes and sliced onions. Bake.

Answer 2

try fixing it on the grill the same way u wld a nice little salmon fillet. Take a boneless fillet lay on a piece of aluminum foil a little garlic salt a sprig of fresh dill and a whole slice of lemon & a large ice cube. like frm an ice cube tray use bagged cubes 2 just takes a few. fold in2 a sealed pouch. The ice keeps the fish frm drying out while grilling. Depending on the thickness cooking time varies 3-5 min per side. Nice little salad or some grilled veggies & rice, gr8 meal especially in the summer

Answer 3

Answer 5

i'm picking up nuggets tomorrow to cook up lol

i double dredge mine with seasoned flower and fry till golden brown.
i pair it with fries or rice usually. if i was doing veggies i would go with corn or peas. or peas n carrotts.

i have also baked it with lemon and dill or lemon and pepper.

it's the kind of fish you don't have to over flavor so i keep it light when making it.
