How to make Louisiana Blackened Catfish

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

Mistake on recipe video. Use 1 1/2 pounds 4 catfish fillets altogether. You can increase to 2 pounds which will increase the number of catfish fillets by 2 if you want to serve more people. Sorry for the confusion.

[@jackmehoff2961]

Is one kind of catfish better than the other for eating, or are they pretty much all the same ? Thank You Charlie !

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

Catfish is Catfish to me. Louisiana or domestic. I tried both and it's pretty much the same.

[@otterlyfresh2886]

Turning the ventilation on was good advice because it smokes up real quick! My fish came out perfect, thanks!

I'm happy to hear that the blackened catfish was successful. You're welcome, not a problem. Thanks for leaving feedback!

[@jakemitchell1671]

Just found you and this video. Excellent! I've been making blackened fish for years, but you just gave me an excellent new tip: Apply some seasoning and lemon and let sit for an hour or more before cooking! I've never considered that. Just did that with 5 fillets and I can't wait to test the results! I will offer a couple small suggestions that might help some folks: First, if your cast iron isn't as wonderfully seasoned as Charlie's, you need to use some non-stick spray or a little oil. Otherwise, your fish WILL stick and tear apart when you try to turn it. Second, unless you have as light a touch as Charlie, don't use metal utensils with cast iron. Use plastic or wood. Finally, unless you have EXCELLENT ventilation like Charlie, don't try to cook this indoors! Instead, fire up your grill and cook with your cast iron outdoors. Some blackening seasoning produces a tremendous amount of smoke, and mediocre vents will NOT prevent your smoke alarms from going off! lol. Hope that helps someone with less experience than Charlie here - a man who clearly knows what he's doing!

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

Hello Jake! I always marinate before I fry or bake something whether it be meat, seafood or vegetables! Thanks so much for providing the suggestions and helpful tips. Much appreciated! :)

[@funlovin38]

And I must say, I Love the way You give Your Viewers a Quick Response, those other Cooks don't do that, Man You are the GOAT!!!

Hi Charlie and friends. I made this recipe just now for lunch and it was definitely delicious. I've always loved New Orleans culture and cuisine but haven't had the money to go back in years... so this hit a nice spot of nostalgia for me. Yum yum. Thank you for sharing.

[@sevenonsere6399]

Great video!!!!! From a fellow Nola native, Just follow the concept & always season to taste usually more lol. Same thing go for my boy in Lafayette the Cajun ninja ! Pro tip let the fish sit in the fridge with the holy trinity too then remove heavy excess.

Thank you for this video, it was very easy to follow. I also appreciate letting everyone know about the heat settings without being asked. I recently picked up some already seasoned blackened tilapia that was ready to cook. I just really needed or wanted to know the heat range and after looking at several blackened tilapia videos became frustrated that the heat setting was never discussed. Even when asked in the comments it was never answered although other questions were. I now want to watch your other videos! sub'd.

Hey Charlie when you mention the cast iron skillet being season what seasoning what I put in there to do my catfish

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

Hey there. Seasoned meaning the skillet is coated with oil and baked into the skillet, creating a non-stick surface. You can spread a very light coating of oil into your skillet, then preheat fire, let the skillet get hot, and then add the catfish. Hope this helps. Thanks!
