What are some good recipes for catfish nuggets?
I'm tired of the same old tradional ways of cooking fish. Any ideas for a good meal.
Answers:
I agree, hence:
cut cat fish into large nugget pieces and saok in ice water with juice of one lemon for 10 minutes, it does wonders for the flavor, there is elegant chemical explanation, but all I can say it eliminates ammonia which gives it bad taste)
drain and dry with paper towel
meanwhile prepare
juice of one lemon
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 TBSP olive oil
1 tbsp mustard
1 tsp celery seed
1 tsp dill
whisk and marinate catfish 2 hours in fridge
whisk 2 egg yolk with black pepper and three dashes of Tabasco, 1 tbsp milk, whisk well
toss catfish with flour till well covered, dip in egg yolk mixture, flour again...
heat olive oil in a large pan, fry fish while turning, till golden brown, serve with home made french fries
Old-fashoined southen method: Coat the catfish in plain yellow mustard (cuts the fishy taste), roll in cornmeal & fry in very hot oil until golden brown.
Serve with hush puppies & cole slaw.
Clean the fish. Season with seasoning salt, pepper, garlic salt. Mix 1-2 eggs with 1-2 tbsp of water. in a separate container. Get some panko bread crumbs and pour some in a container. Put enough oil in a skillet to cover the pieces of fish, barely on the bottom of the fish. Season the fish with the spices, dip in the egg-water mixture, then dip in the panko break crumbs and fry approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Turn over and do the same with the other side until golden brown. This is a great recipe. You can add your own extra seasonings with the fish at first, and try different spices that you like, just stick with the egg mixture and the panko crumbs. Hope you enjoy, it is good !!!! Also you can cut the catfish into smaller strips or chunks also
i once made a gumbo using catfish nuggets and it was wonderful.
use the same combo of onions, green pepper,garlic and celery, a can of diced tomatoes with/without chiles.
add catfish,simmer till well cooked then thicken and serve of rice. simple and really good.
note: i soak catfish in a little lemon juice for about an hour before(drain).
If you have a nice vegetarian broth or soup, poach the nuggets in it. Now you have catfish vegetable soup.

marinate or season to taste, wrap in egg roll wrappers and steam, or fry. Serve on top of rice or noodles with stir fried vegetables.
