Catfish Courtboullion

[Msucowpoke51]

Anyone got a good recipe ... Im thinking about cooking my first one this weekend

First off make sure catfish is trimmed well. No blue film or red meat and fat.

Then melt stick of butter and sauté bell pepper and yellow onions. Then add a can of tomato sauce. Mix flour and water and pour into pot. Add green onions garlic and parsley and let cook until you get your gravy thick and right. Season with salt black pepper and red pepper. Once gravy is right. Add fish and cook for 20 more minute DO NOT STIR FISH

Make sure u let most of the water boil out of onions before u add fish. Fish will throw alot of water. I put 3/4 can of cream of chicken or mushroom in place of flour. Once u add fish put fire on simmer and cook for 30 min or so once it starts to boil
In place of stiring with spoon, twist pot every 5 min because it will stick to bottom.
Like top dog said trim and clean real good.

So average size can of tomatos sauce and about how much water? Does adding the water with the flour effect its cooking? Only added water/broth after my roux was done never during the browning process

[Top Dawg]

I mix my water and flour then put it in pot. Too make sure it's dissolved good. I use about half a can of tomato sauce. Some people like more. I don't like too much tomato. I like my gravy pink

That would include me cause I would rather mine without a strong tomato flavor

[Top Dawg]

I don't like tomato taste either. But once you put roux it is no longer a courtbouillon.

I've sauted a can of rotel with the seasoning blend and it make a rusty gravey without a very strong tomato flavor.

That looks great. But one lil tip. You trim that blue off the meat it will be much better. Frying fish tomorrow and making a gaspergou courtbouillon. Will try to remember to take pics

[breambuster]

Ill remember to do that next time. The sauce turned out really good. Im gonna make just the sauce and put over some noodles with some cheese and mild italian sausage. I think thats gonna be the new thing!

Msucowpoke51, that looks pretty good!
I'll take a plate like that anytime.
