Perfectly Fried Catfish & Dirty Rice (Easy Weeknight Dinner!)

[@nikperk78able]

Definitely going with pork sausage for my dirty rice

[@Michelle-so2hz]

This fish gots to be great!!!! I’ll take it all with hush puppies babyyyyyy 💁🏽‍♀️

[@debbielenoir5472]

My dirty rice is basically the same but i add ground meat along with the pork sausage. I brown the meat and deglaze the skillet with a very small amount of liquid twice in order to add the “dirty” to the rice. However, I cook the raw rice in the meat and vegetable mixture along with 2 cups of chicken broth. I agree with you about the chicken livers.

[@jenniferf.bradley6006]

Louisiana all day long. We Love our fried fish and dirty rice. We also love that deep-fried Gar fish with some dirty rice and hushpuppies

[@ladymarie77]

My Mom would always smother her garfish in gravy with rice. I’ve never had it fried. Sounds good.

[@bacaloc5489]

Happy Father’s Day!! Old school Louisiana dirty rice was cooked with ground calf/chicken liver. Now that’s old old school.

[@EmmaFrostRules]

From the bottom of my heart thank you! I made this whole meal for me and a friend and it was magnificent. Def falls in the "will make again for sure". So far I've made this, your Jambalaya, and your peach cobbler cheesecake. All were delicious.

[@EmmaFrostRules]

I'm making this entire meal today. Just finished the dirty rice. It came out magnificent! Thank you so much!

[@thatwifelife2138]

I’m always temped to get catfish, I might have to try this. And buy some of your seasonings I saw at Kroger in Hampton Va even if it’s $7.49.

Love me some catfish AND dirty rice!! 😃 Thank you for sharing! My favorite hot sauce is Texas Pete. 😊

[@ah598]

This meal is definitely a winner. Night one: my kids ate all the rice before I could make the fish. Night two after remaking the rice: the 10 yr old picky eater ate 4 or 5 nuggets. This will def be a staple even though I absolutely hate frying foods (can’t stand the mess I make)

[@ladygreer9323]

Oh yeah Mr Make it Happen. Happy Father's Day if you are a dad. The catfish meal looks delicious 😋🤤 Enjoy your day!! 🐞😚😋

[@velmamellix5318]

Thank you Matt, you've helped me to fall back in love with fish again

[@jerriotglencamp7562]

Your friends need to do a pancake challenge. Great addition to your show

[@lindamymixtap8730]

[@patriciagrier282]

[@marygrifffin3781]

[@stephenegarrett17]

This looks fantastic for one of my weeknight meals.

[@meowpuppy]

[@kentaylor151]

[@faylinsings5751]

[@QueenBReacts]

[@bsh1772]

I don’t want no rice baby!!! I love your cooking and recipes!!! But with my catfish, I want me some hush puppies, coleslaw and some big home style fries/ potatoes! Put the rice 🍚 on the side side baby

[@larryyoung1653]

Sounds like a southern thing to me. Because that’s exactly what I would have. 😎

[@corey1788]

@@larryyoung1653are you suggesting dirty rice isn’t southern?

[@sharonsmalls6846]

@@corey1788 Exactly! Add the rice as well.

[@melvinathomas6366]

Now you talk in my language.That is Louisiana style cooking.Also, we have potato salad with green peas if we don't have dirty rice ❤❤

[@summeronio9751]

​@@melvinathomas6366 You're putting peas in fucking potato salad? You're fucking fired. Don't come to the function.

[@nobracobra]

mmm... good stuff... tyfs

[@lanettelawrence6308]

Refit hot sauce is my favorite. The sauce look great. I can’t eat fried anything, can you air fry some things.

[@Mainecoonlady.]

Okay Fried Catfish and Dirty Rice… southern yummy! Slaw and hush puppies. Calabash style!

[@valenciaguest3897]

Crystal is the truth!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙌🏽

[@kenhill3562]

Fav hot sauce Truff and Texas Pete

[@thechartmaverick]

Excellent video. Your beard game is strong AF, by the way. What are the tongs called that you’re picking the fish up with? I want to get some of those.

[@quiltingsista9724]

Love catfish - no nuggets for me 😅. I normally use gizzards & ground pork for my dirty rice! If it wasn’t so hot here, I’d be in the kitchen 😅

[@JanetM05]

Matt love ya I really do n Not trying to tell you how to cook cause you be doing it ….true Cajun dirty rice combines ground beef with a good pork sausage …..with soysause…. try it next time n see how your rice will be elevated!✌🏽😇♥️

[@connielynn195]

We always used cornmeal for our fried catfish. Never used flour.

[@bethdavis6863]

I like a mixture of both.

[@MsAE-jn5ec]

Franks Hot Sauce. The crunch of the fish is everything. Looks delicious 🤤

[@blsdbyndmsr]

Just made this dirty rice😋killed out!. Thx also made your stuffed chicken breast Saturday. So good!

[@annabland2615]

Delicious

[@itstoonbruh]

Red devil is da best regular hot sauce

[@sharonperry6161]

I don't do catfish but hell yeah "looking good"

[@kenhill3562]

Yum

[@lauriebieda4498]

What brand is the garlic paste and ginger paste?

[@zjzjbigfishcatches7740]

Catfish without a price tag on it is the best because everybody can share it and get fat together 😊❤!!!! 👑Z👑

[@marieb9926]

I laughed our loud, "you might end up with risotto." I make my rice separately too to prevent that from happening. This is a solid recipe.

[@mshaitiansensation]

*OMG!! i was JUST thinkin I wanna learn how to fry catfish😩*

[@SamHarper-g4c]

Yessir! Gimme all that

Louisiana hot sauce all day

[@lydiacollins5605]

Franks Red Hot Sauce the best there is.

[@marthabsmith1306]

@lydiacollins5605, Frank's Red Hot all day, every day and twice on Sunday. No hot sauce is better to me.

[@meezermom1027]

Texas Pete

[@bdonk31]

Happy Father's Day to you

[@marthabsmith1306]

Matt, can you make a dish that incorporates hush puppies? I see a lot of hush puppy comments.

Creole Trinity not Cajun. Before the Cajun people came into Louisiana the Creoles we're using that combination.

[@d-bo225]

In Louisiana we call this version "rice dressing". Dirty rice down here includes livers and maybe gizzards. Rice dressing doesnt.

[@marthabsmith1306]

I make my dirty rice with Bob Evans hot sausage and chicken livers, but go easy in the livers. If you use to much it will give your rice a grainy, bitter taste.

[@reginatatum]

Creole Trinity.

[@2Hisglory1]

Frank's hot sauce!

Why flour vs cornmeal

[@Donaldwonagin]

Have you ever made anything you didn't like?

[@MrMakeItHappen]

Sure.. but I wouldn’t take the time to share a recipe that isn’t ready to be shared with people lol

[@ChesterCopperpotIV]

Hot sauce-wise, Crystal is good.. But Louisiana is better and probably the best overall..

[@in2atving]

That looks fan fuckin tastic!! Maybe a lil fried okra???
