There are a lot of different ways for cooking catfish and most of them don't take much time and effort to do. You can try a variety of traditional catfish recipes, or add twists to make new ones. The most traditional method of cooking catfish is by frying. You don't need a lot of ingredients to fry a catfish and it also does not take too much time to prepare or cook, yet it still comes out great.
Purchasing a catfish, or catching one, is the foremost step in preparing a catfish dish. Make sure that it is fresh by checking its appearance and its smell. A fresh catfish should have clear eyes and gills. It should also have a clean smell. Be sure to clean the fish thoroughly if you catch or buy it whole. If you don't want to spend a lot of time cleaning the fish, you can also purchase ready-made catfish fillets so you can move on to preparing it right away.
Most freshwater come out great whatever type of cooking method you use. Saltwater catfish are a different story however, and most people speculate that they are inedible. There are two types of saltwater catfish: Gaftops and Hardheads. Both types are edible, but most anglers prefer to eat gaftops than hardheads since they don't taste as good. When cooking saltwater catfish, you just have to make sure that the fish is cleaned well, with all the spikes properly removed and the meat thoroughly cooked.
Blackened is a great way for cooking catfish. It consists of coating the catfish fillets with various seasonings such as thyme leaves, cayenne pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika and cooking it in a skillet until the seasonings burn and gives the fish a black coating. It is fairly easy to do and the ingredients needed are readily available. Apart from blackened, you can also try lots of different ways like baking, deep-frying, grilling and so much more. It's just a matter of experimenting on the ingredients to heighten up the flavor, while keeping the moistness of the fish. You can also get a lot of ideas on different ways to cook catfish by surfing the net or browsing through cookbooks and cooking magazines and you can share some of your personal catfish recipes as well. A lot of people are fond of cooking catfish and it has become one of the most favorite dishes in the US as well as other parts of the world.
