Time 50m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 large yellow onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
3 large garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1 stick butter
6 cups fish stock or water
1 can (35 ounces) Italian tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 bunch Italian parsley, leaves chopped ( 1/2 cup lightly packed)
3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon dried or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano, marjoram or basil
Juice of 1 lemon
1 cup dry white wine
4 pounds catfish fillets
1 bunch green onions, finely chopped
Cayenne pepper and salt to taste
Cooked rice for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a heavy 5-quart saucepan or enameled Dutch oven until smoking. Add the flour and stir until blended. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and straw colored, about 3 minutes. Stir in the onion, pepper, garlic and celery. Reduce heat to medium and stir in the butter. Continue cooking until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Meanwhile, bring the fish stock or water to a boil.
  • Stir in the tomatoes and their liquid, parsley, bay leaves, thyme and oregano, marjoram or basil to the flour mixture. Add the boiling fish stock, lemon juice and wine and stir gently. Simmer until thickened, 20 to 30 minutes. Add the fish, green onions and cayenne, stir gently and simmer just until the fish layers separate when prodded gently with a fork, about 2 minutes. Taste for seasoning. (It will need salt if water is used.) Serve over rice.

I'm not a fan of okra, so I left it out. The dish was still delicious.

I'm allergic to shellfish, so I used shrimp instead of crab. It was still delicious.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste. I'll try using less cayenne pepper next time.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it never disappoints. The catfish is always flaky and moist, and the broth is flavorful and delicious. I like to add a few extra vegetables, like okra and bell peppers, to make it a more hearty meal.

This catfish courtbouillon was an absolute delight! The flavors were so rich and complex, and the fish was cooked perfectly. I served it over rice, and it was the perfect comfort food for a cold night.
