Farm-raised catfish grown in the Mississippi Delta and fried in oil is wonderful, and that recipe is posted, but some prefer foods not fried. this is a healthy alternative
Ingredients
- catfish fillets (5-7 oz) or other fish fillets shopping list
- cornmeal (Stoneground or course ground preferred) shopping list
- granulated garlic shopping list
- salt and black pepper shopping list
How to make it
- Season cornmeal with granulaed garlic, salt and pepper to taste.
- Fish should be slightly damp, but not wet.
- Dredge fish in cornmeal and press meal into fish.
- Place on greased wire rack and place on baking pan
- Bake at 375 until golden brown and fish flakes, about 20 minutes.
- Note: The recipe for real Fried Catish is posted on my page. This recipe was requested by a cooking friend who does not eat fried foods. Enjoy!
- Note: Farm-raised catfish has a white, mild and delicate flavor due to the fact that it is raised in special ponds and fed a diet of grains. The entire pond is netted and kept alive until processing time. From live to frozen fillets takes just minutes. Thus, no fishy taste.
