Cornmeal and Rice Crusted Catfish

This fried catfish is coated with a mixture of cornmeal and ground long grain rice and then pan fried until it is golden and crispy. 

This cornmeal and rice crusted catfish is extra crunchy from the rice in the dredge used before frying.

Braised Catfish Fillets with Ginger and Soy

These catfish fillets are poached in a delicious mixture of ginger, soy sauce, scallions, cilantro, and rice vinegar.

Need a fish dinner that is fast, inexpensive, and delicious? This dish is tasty, takes less than thirty minutes to make, and is super economical. It's even pretty enough for dinner guests. The sauce is wonderful over rice and steamed or stir-fried vegetables.

Thai-Style Catfish Burgers

Thai-Style Catfish Burgers with Shrimp and flavored with shallots, chiles, lime, ginger, and garlic served wrapped in tender lettuce and garnished with basil, mint, and cilantro.

I love the Thai flavors in these Catfish Burgers. They are so fresh and light. The burgers are held together by a mousse of shrimp, seasoning, and an egg white. No breading. The trick is to keep everything cold when preparing the patties so that they hold together while cooking.
