If you've never tried it, or you eat it infrequently, I strongly encourage you to try your hand at cooking this very versatile fish. I promise you that when properly prepared, catfish is "off the hook!" Try this curry recipe as an example.

Provided by Adrian Miller

Categories     Main Dish Catfish

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds catfish fillets
4 cups water
2 medium onions, finely chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
4 cups hot cooked rice

Steps:

  • Rinse fillets under cold water and cut into 2-inch pieces.
  • Place catfish into a medium saucepan and add water, onions, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer until fish is tender but not breaking apart, about 8 minutes. Transfer fish to a serving platter using a slotted spoon and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Bring the cooking liquid in the saucepan to a boil; continue to boil until it reduces to 1 cup, then keep warm over low heat.
  • Combine flour, curry, and butter in a small bowl. Mix with a fork or fingertips to form a smooth paste. Roll teaspoon-sized bits of paste into balls.
  • Return the cooking liquid to a simmer. While stirring slowly and continuously, drop the balls into the liquid one at a time, letting each one dissolve before adding the next. Cook until the sauce returns just to a boil and thickens to the consistency of gravy, about 5 minutes. Check the seasoning.
  • Pour the gravy over the fish and boiled rice, sprinkle some parsley on top, and serve hot.

  • Thaw frozen catfish properly: If using frozen catfish, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or under cold water for 30 minutes.
  • Season the catfish well: Use a flavorful combination of herbs, spices, and seasonings to enhance the taste of the catfish. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is a healthy and flavorful choice for baking catfish. It helps to keep the fish moist and prevents it from drying out.
  • Bake the catfish at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy exterior and a tender, flaky interior.
  • Don't overcook the catfish: Catfish is a delicate fish that can easily overcook. Bake it for just 10-12 minutes, or until it is cooked through.
  • Serve the catfish immediately: Catfish is best served hot out of the oven. It can be paired with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
