Question: I need to know how long to steam catfish fillets in the microwave so I can add them to my catfish stew!?
I just need to steam them enough to get them "semi" cooked without over cooking them!. I know that they will continue to cook after I add them to the stew!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I would guess no longer than 2 or 3 minutes!. Fish cook fast, whether in the skillet or micro!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I make seafood chowders all the time and do not think you need to steam those catfish first at all!. since you are putting it in a stew and it will cook there, what is the point of cooking it first!? Fish cooks in 10 minutes or less for every inch of thickness of fish, Obviously, it will cook quicker if it is thinner!. no need to smell up the microwave at all!. I would just cut the fish into portions and stir into the stew, and simmer for another ten minutes and it is finished!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sorry I fail to see how the steam will help unless they are frozen!.!.
IT IS Just Stew Www@FoodAQ@Com
