Catfish
Long a Southern delicacy, this fish has become popular in all regions of the country. Because of that, it is now often raised on farms instead of being gathered out of only rivers and lakes.
How to cook catfish
The fish has a tough skin that must be removed. To do this, use a sharp knife and cut the skin just behind the gills. Pull off the skin with the fingers or a tweezers. Catfish can often be bought at stores cleaned and dressed.
Serving suggestions
Catfish is often served breaded or rolled in cornmeal or flour before it is fried. It can be deep fried in fat, not necessarily the healthiest way to cook a fish already considered higher in fat, until it is brown on both sides.
A healthier alternative is to poach catfish fillets in a chicken stock, white wine, and ginger. This cooking method results in a pleasing dish that is lower in fat than the traditional frying.
