Fried Catfish Dinner

When I was visiting my mom recently, we made a trip to Kroger to purchase fresh catfish – her favorite fish to cook. I don’t order fried food out, but when I visit her, I indulge in her delicious catfish meal because it’s SO good!!

While she was cooking it, I asked if I could take pictures of the process for my blog. She sweetly obliged.

It’s very simple, and also super quick. At one point she remarked how easy it is to have dinner ready in thirty minutes. That’s a great reason to cook at home!

Here are her simple steps for a delicious Catfish dinner –

It’s quick, light, and packed with flavor – perfect for those evenings when you want a meal that feels like summertime, even if you’re just cooking on the back porch. Toss a few skewers on the grill (or Ninja grill, as I did), add your favorite seasoning or marinade, and in minutes you’ve got a dish that’s easy and impressive!

Catfish Po’boy Sandwich and An Old Fashioned Dessert

The meal I’m sharing today reminds me of childhood, only we’re going to take something simple and make it a little more special!

I love fish, but I especially love a fish sandwich!  I recently tried a Cooking Light recipe for Catfish Po’boy with Hoisin-Peanut Sauce. It was as amazing as it sounds! I used frozen catfish filets and we grilled them.  That alone added a great flavor to the fish, and of course it cooked up in no time.  This peanut sauce takes it up a whole new notch, adding great flavors to the sandwich!
