CATFISH CREOLE
This is from the Sunset Seafood Cookbook (1981). We make it frequently. It's quick and tasty. Feel free to spice this up if you'd like to. The original calls for the lemon to be sliced thinly and laid on top. If you do this, use a sweet lemon. If it's not sweet, it will make the dish bitter. We've tossed out a few batches because of this, so we started zesting the lemon and using the juice.

Steps:
- Melt butter in wide frying pan or dutch oven over medium heat; add onion, celery, green pepper, and garlic. Cook until soft (about 7 minutes); add tomatoes, lemon zest and juice, Worcestershire, paprika, bay leaf, salt, thyme and Tabasco. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes until sauce is slightly thickened.
- Press fish pieces down into sauce; spoon some of the sauce over the top of fish. Cover pan and simmer gently until fish flakes readily when prodded in thickest portion with a fork. For a 1 1/2 inch-thick piece of fish (measured in thickest portion), allow 15 minutes.
- To serve, spoon fish and sauce over cooked rice or add a bit of rice right to the pan.

[email protected]This catfish creole recipe was a disaster! The sauce was bland and the fish was overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

[email protected]The catfish creole was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.

[email protected]This recipe was easy to follow and the catfish creole turned out great! I used tilapia instead of catfish and it was still delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

[email protected]I've made this catfish creole recipe several times now, and it's always a winner. The sauce is so good that I could drink it! I usually serve it over pasta, but it would also be great with rice or potatoes.
