When i was a kid, we lived in Canada and had a little river out behind our house. In the river was a little bump of land we called an "island... " taking liberties. However, on one side, was quite a good "hole" where the cats liked to lay. After catching a few, we'd just be-head and strip the innards, then roast them on a stick over an open fire and let a pat (or three) of butter and sit there and pick it off the bones. So many years later, I swear I can still taste it. But this looks like the other way I'd like to eat it, ill be trying it soon. A tip... for your viewers. When cleaning your catfish, many people claim they taste "muddy." Thats because there is a filter, called a "mud strip," that runs along the top/back of the fish. Remove this strip and you'll never have a "muddy" fish again. :)

Thank you Shannon for filming the video, Kent did a excellent job in the wind cooking up the smoked catfish! Excellent recipe.

Kent Rollins was not lying. That smoked catfish was delicious. I used cherry wood since I couldn't find peach. Everyone loved the tartar sauce. I made mine with extra capers to make your mouth pucker. Keep the great recipes a coming.

[@kevinfreeman6492]

I just ordered and received both of his Cook Books. I was so excited to get them and so disappointed that I hadn't ordered them sooner. They are well worth the investment and are top quality, no I don't know Kent or Shannon but I feel like I do after reading all the stories and see how much work that went into them. Thank you kids so much for all that you share, I feel truly blessed to get to watch all your great videos. Can't wait tilll we meet up on the trail. God bless you both.

Kevin thanks so much for the kind words and we hope they bring you many happy meals

My wife said to me last night, “we haven’t heard from Cowboy Kent yet this week”. I reminded her, we’ll see him tomorrow!

[@JohnDoe-vf2yo]

Hell of a time to get a catfish recipe notification while I'm out here at the lake fishing. *drops bass rig* *picks up channel cat rig* "Here kitty-kitty, Kent has a damned good soundin recipe for ya!" Maybe if I apply my phone speaker to the line, the vibration of Kent's voice might entice the catfish to bite knowing they'll be cooked just right. Here's hoping. 🙏

Fish marinades, capers, smoking with Alder and Peach wood, That's classy cowboy cookin'. Looks absolutely delicious.

[@ttouran]

As Kevin Pitt II mentioned, with all the nasty things going on out there in this great country, as an immigrant who grew up in the south, I love this channel. To me, this is classic Americana, and the Cowboy, Shannon, and the quality control staff bring a sense of normalcy. I love the U.S. flag in the background flying around in the wind in all its glory. Keep up the great the work Cowboy Kent and wish you all the very best always. We all need to be grateful to live in this country, and you know, I am not a big fan of catfish ( I am a steak/meat and potato dude), but I am gone give this a try.

A cousin of mine down in TN had a catfish place. Catfish dinner with cole slaw and hushpuppies was all she served (along with soft drink, iced tea, or coffee). Mmmmm, good! Thanks for the memories and video!

Great marinate recipe! Thanks for posting the recipe..... love smoked fish.... made blackened fish too.... and better for you! Thanks Kent.

[@24justinhunter]

Looks delicious! Can’t wait to try. Especially the tartar sauce. I live in Alaska and think this sauce will compliment a lot of the fish we eat up here! From Florida so I know Catfish and never thought to smoke it until now! Thank you as always for being you and all you do!!! Can’t wait for the next one!

[@jackwebb437]

Brother Rollins: Down in South Texas (just south of Kingsville) is a seafood restaurant called Kings Inn. Best gulf shrimp and fried drum you’ll ever eat. Their “secret” recipe for their tarter sauce has to be very close to what you made. But I’ve been told there are some crushed Ritz crackers added that gives it some body. But that horseradish (I am sure they chop it up fresh from the root) just makes you do the Kent Rollins shuffle. Google Kings Inn Tarter Sauce recipe.

[@johnathannelson6195]

Kent, Shannon and Pooches, Thank You from Talkeetna Alaska. Think I am going to give this a try with burbot. Bout as close as we get to catfish up here but should be delicious. Once again thank you all for the great vids, recipes and most of all for the sincerity and obvious love of food, family, community and country.

I spent months away in a lot of states but I couldnt wait to get back to Oklahoma on the farm. I love Oklahoma its my home. God Bless.

[@007vsMagua]

Keep it light, keep it mellow, is great advice for fish. When I lived in Alaska, Alder was the #1 wood for salmon. I can't wait to try some frozen farm raised catfish fillets in my new electric smoker. I'll be going for a Cajun flavor and will smoke some jalapeno peppers at the same time. Some of the roasted peppers will go on top of the served fillet and then covered with a hollandaise sauce. With a side of asparagus tips and rice, I'll be in heaven.

[@Waldo55]

[@johnmoser9731]

I tried this recipe and it's incredible. The second time I did it like any true amateur cook I added a little something to it. Before it's done, take out some tin foil, put the fish in and add a tablespoon of butter and squeeze a lemon over it. Wrap it up and let it cook for 5 more minutes. Good God... as much as I love tartar sauce you don't even need it or ketchup.

Am cooking it NOW as I type this. Thank you! :)

[@CarlVandenberg]

I used to love to go catfish fishing on a still, warm summer evening and just sit with my thoughts...until of course that reel started bending and that drag started to screaming. They put up a great fight and also taste just right. Thanks for the tartar recipe Kent. I've tried many concoctions and have pretty much settled on something pretty similar to yours. When I finally started keeping capers in the fridge and adding them to the mix, that's when my tartar sauce became "just right".

Kent I just watched your video on smoking catfish It was very good. I was raised in FL so I did a lot of fishing and smoked a lot of fish. We never used Alder but we did use lemon, orange, grapefruit, oak and hickory. And I don't know if you have it in Ok but I know it grows in E Texas but we used it a lot for smoking fish,oysters and shrimp and that is pallmetto roots. They smoke like crazy but it is mild tasting. I have also used Palm chunks for smoking seafood. I also love smoked Palm hearts tho in FL we called it cabbage Palm.

That suprised my grandpa and myself and we fell in love with smoked catfish.

Never thoight of smoking my yellow bellies bull heads. Looks delicious. We always smoked our salmon in alder apple mix. Looks great. Might like to try it with big crappie and bluegill too.

[@jobyfankell321]

i keep a tank at home to put my catfish in. i let them swim in it for a few days before filleting. this seems to improve the meat by leaching out some of the phosphorus and other chemicals in it. the key here in northern cali is the bigger the cat the longer it needs to sit in fresh tap water before being cut and cleaned.
