Love this! In Alabama, we gut the catfish, cut slightly into the skin around entire head, nail the catfish to a tree at the head, peel the skin off entire fish with pliers except head, and then fillet it with the fish sitting on the belly. The head staying on until after you fillet it gives it balance. I take the head off last basically the same way as you. Idk if it's the best way but has worked for me for 45 years or so. Catfish is a staple in Alabama. Just an idea.

You need a damn hatchet to cut the head off and they're so slimy that you can't hold onto them well without the head!

@alexmccurry32462 жыл бұрын
I've always left head on and guts in. Helps keep the fish somewhat less awkward on it's side. Feel behind the pectoral fins for a bone that points towards the tail and start your fillet there. Cut from the belly all the way through the skin on the back in one clean cut from there all the way to the tail, but leave the skin at the back by the tail. Then skin that fillet. Leaving the skin attached gives you the whole body of the fish to grab and provides better grip while you're trying to remove the skin. There are obviously hundreds of ways to do it, but that's just the way that has always worked best for me. G Great content and the food looks amazing!

In order to avoid haot spots when cooking with a Dutch oven, rotate the lid about every 10 minutes 90 degrees to move any hot spots around the tope of the food. Next get a raising device called a trivet . It raises the oven above the coals to allow more even cooking temperature. When cooking rotated the oven 90 degrees one way then move the lid 90 degrees the other way, voila, even cooking.

Don't use soap (unless it's super dirty). Just rinse it with hot water. You can scrub it without soap. After that, remember to dry it thoroughly (put it on a stove for a little bit is a good way). Then, when it completely dries out, put a tiny bit of oil in there, use paper towel to scrub/ spread the oil evenly to the pan to form a thin layer of coating, so that the next time you use it, it'll have that nonstick coating ready for you. Don't put oil when it's too hot (smoking) because the oil will stick.

A little bit of advice with catfish. One you can use the spine in the dorsal fin to pin the fish on the cutting board, or tree to clean the fish, much like cleaning eel with a spike. Secondly, and most importantly, remove any off color bits like the yellow you mentioned, and also the redish outermost piece of the filet until youve got a nice white filet. Its a lot to cut off but it will be a far superior end product. These parts contain off flavors and toxins. It will vastly improve the flavor of your catfish filets. Lastly, i find staying thin when frying helps the fish be more flaky. Love the videos keep them coming!!!

Nice channel cat, that's considered a pretty big one. Channels are the last resort catfish for me but still delicious, blue cats are better and cleaner tasting often. Flathead catfish are by far the best, and their belly meat makes a very mean sandwich. The cheek meat is very good on flatheads too. Flats taste a lot different because they mostly eat other fish, it almost tastes line another species.
