My husband is really into fishing so I’m guessing I’ll be posting catfish recipes here once or twice a month. Maybe even 3 times a month. I usually make the catfish nuggets for lunch which the family loves the day after his many fishing expeditions. Other catfish dishes that the family likes are Catfish Fillets In Creamy Coconut Milk Sauce, Catfish Spaghetti W/ Garlic-Tomato-Scallions Sauce, and catfish fillets pan-fried in butter. Sometimes my husband would save a fish for me to do whatever I want with it. These are the fishes where he leaves the skin and sometimes head, in tact. Earlier this month, he reserved one catfish (decent size), cut into steaks for me to cook however I want for my lunch.

I decided to cook it bistek style. Bistek is basically thin slices of beef marinated in soy sauce, lemon juice, and garlic sauce then cooked in oil with onions. You can do this with pork too. With the catfish steaks though, I eliminated the marinating process. Nevertheless, the fish absorbed the bistek flavors just fine.

Yes, another catfish dish. A dish that was surprisingly good. And definitely a seafood dish that’s perfect for people who are skipping meat this Holy Week. But catfish and spaghetti? Really? I KNOW, I was really surprised how good this is. My children loved it too. So let me show you how I made it.

I had 9 full ziploc bags of catfish in my freezer after my husband’s fishing trip last Thursday. So far I’ve made creole catfish nuggets out of the stomach fillets. The other night I cooked up another bag of the fillets by simmering the fish in coconut milk. It was soooo good. Anything simmered in coconut milk always turns out well, right? This Catfish Fillets In Creamy Coconut Milk Sauce is not an exception.

My husband caught almost 60 pounds of catfish this past Friday night. It’s not just 1 fish, it’s a combination of 5 catfishes. When he got home that night, I asked if he caught any and he said he did but not worthy to keep at all. He went back outside and did whatever, then came back inside and asked me to get the scale and camera. I was all confused about the scale part.

Scaling? why?

Scale and camera..

Scaling, why?

I need the scale and camera, WOMAN! (he actually didn’t say the woman part but that would have been funny)

Ohhhh, Scale AND camera, ohhhhhhhhhh, you caught some, how many? Are they big???
