@@3teeth300 it's the AB Level Up spice. I believe the one he used was the rub. Forgive him, his regulars know what his spice is by sight.

Thank you and enjoy!

[@cyberpunkcentral8500]

DANG those were some pretty catfish fillets! Pink and THICK!😊 I grew up in the South, and these reminded me of the fish dinners we'd get at 'fish camps' (small country seafood restaurants) on Sundays after church. You get your "Sunday dinner plate" = your fish, your shrimp, your hush puppies or cornbread, and your big spoon of collard or turnip greens! Mmmmmm mmmm! 😋 (Maybe some banana pudding for dessert if you wuz extra good while the sermon went on 😉) Thank you so much for showing us how to make these. 🎉 Wonderful memories. If you haven't tried catfish prepared this way, you're truly missing out, y'all. ❤

[@sharibasse6130]

I grow dill and definitely use it in my tartar sauce! I only cook at my home. My lemon, orange, and avocado trees take great care of us! AB you are the main man I go to for recipes. Now I need to find your Lima bean recipe!!! Thank you!!!!!

[@sharibasse6130]

Lima bean recipe please AB🙏

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

👏🏽💯✌🏽👍🏽🤤

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

Look on my website if you haven't already found it. It's 🔥

[@Kristeninblack]

I made your catfish tonight and everyone was soooo happy! I was blown away by how tasty it was. My room mate was skeptical that it wouldn’t be bland cuz I’m white as hell, but he gave me the thumbs up! Thankyou! No bland ass fish up in this house dammit! I shall defeat my childhood one recipe at a time

[@yazziebishop2062]

AB, I love this. I fry my fish the same way and use Louisiana Red Dot Hot sauce. But when it comes to making tarter sauce, I add a bit of horseradish for some bite (to taste). If I'm out of horseradish, I'll put my hot sauce in it as a substitute. Give it a try and let us know what you think.

[@g54b95]

This sounds amazing. I was thinking a little dijon in the tartar sauce would be solid.

[@mariaddubkg531]

I always add a dash of hot sauce to homemade tarter! Its🔥

[@dotsongray]

If you been watching AB for a minute you know our brotha doesn’t take too kindly to spicy food lol. That’s where Mr Make It Happen come into play lol

[@gdean108]

I make tarta sause with fresh dill, dill pickle relish, lemon juice, duke's mayonnaise, garlic powder, and fresh grated onion.

[@cindyhughes5501]

That’s how I make mine as well

[@mariaddubkg531]

That’s whats up!

[@RazzN513-ip6xe]

You need your own show. I always look up your recipes.

[@em7562]

I want to say thank you so much for all your videos. You are a true chef right to the point Im a latina from New York City and my husband is going crazy with these new recipes i have. Blessings.✌️

[@albertasmith-h8t]

Will definitely try. The buttermilk marinade seems to be really yummy.

[@patriciahartless2095]

A.B . Perfect frying of the catfish . That's how I love my catfish done . I put dill pickles in my tarter sauce . I like to put Sweet Baby Ray hot sauce. On my fish . You And Family . Have A Blessed Weekend .

[@shanellewashington3570]

AB that Catfish looked 🔥🔥 You can fry me catfish anytime because you know how to fry it. Everybody doesn't know how to fry it as well as I have seen in every one of your videos!! Thanks for sharing your recipe and bless you ✨🙏🏾💖

[@octaviab_]

Using this recipe!! Every time I make something of yours it comes out sooooo good😊!!!

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

🤤

[@justhnkn3663]

Love watching you cook. You explain everything really well.

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

Thank you

[@leadfoot1229]

Hi AB, can't wait to try this on Northern Pike and Trout. You sure make it look simple. My ancestors used Dill a lot, I think to much and I lost my taste for it, but a dab is good. Have a great week!!

[@everydayden5826]

Great to see you using corn meal. It is so much better than flour and is what we always used growing up when cooking horned pout and brook trout. Up here in NH we don't have much in the way of cat fish, a few channel cats and horned pout is all I have ever seen. However in my opinion, horned pout when not muddy tasting, is sweeter and almost always better than trout. Fresh fried fish with homemade bread, freshly made homemade butter and frozen raspberry jam was always a great way to start the day after a night of fishing. Glad to see you keeping it old school my friend !!

[@salenamatthews5711]

Hey AB, I watch a lot of your videos...I'm frying catfish tonight for my hubby. I used egg whites to hold my batter together. My catfish is awesome...I put in meal mix I put alittle sweet smoked paprika, lemon pepper, old bay and black pepper. It's off the chart good❤

[@ctsmith9527]

I've been using AB's wet/dry catfish recipe for the past few years. I'll definitely be tappin in with this one soon

[@ericshaw6438]

Love your style of cookin my brother. You represent to the fullest and I have used so many of your recipes or have taken some from each recipe to enhance my own cooking. I appreciate what you do for the industry.

[@Yjuania]

I'm just cooking for myself today since I'm the only one at home. Your crispy fried catfish and red beans and rice are on the menu. I'll be eating leftovers tomorrow! No taste bud will be mistreated and nothing goes to waste😊

[@cassandrasmith357]

You need to open your own restaurant I swear everything I see you cook looks fire !!! ❤😊

[@Kim-mn1cl]

Love love love your catfish but I like Tilapia even better--it stays together without falling apart. Love your cornmeal concoction! Homemade tartar sauce is the best. Plate of fried fish with lemon, tartar sauce and Louisiana hot sauce--all are just right! Yum!

[@michellepettway1598]

Im so glad i ran across ur channel i loves your content 💓 i tell all my friends about you!!!

[@dutchv.5081]

[@jfitzgerald6039]

Gotta do this with coleslaw...Thanx AB for the inspiration.

[@DominiqueNLopez]

Bottom feeder but top of the menu!!! ❤ Louisiana

[@AllinJesusname7]

That catfish looks absolutely delicious 😋 🤤! I’ve always made my own tartar sauce using the same ingredients, except I add a little fresh minced onion and I eat it with fried or blackened catfish & salmon.

[@Holmer188]

I was gifted one of your thermometers for Christmas. This looks great, thanks for sharing.

[@kitwren1797]

I got your new book in the mail. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, AB.

[@simstd]

Love the video fam. I just made some fried catfish two days ago bro. I used Kinders blend seasoning in my cornmeal. Its a easy way for me to add all of the based seasonings I want without going overboard. I also drop a little paprika and chili power in there as well but I don't use buttermilk because of the lactose lol.

[@marygoodman9530]

Thank you 🔥your recipes are always fun and absolutely delicious. 👍

[@rickie2sticky66]

Love ur channel! Franks red hot is the GOAT hot sauce... i actually just use franks as my binder for the breading... i guess its an old canadian trick i learned a few years back and i love it! Havent used a wash since!

Looks good AB. I love catfish. My birthday month this will be on the menu!

[@alainaparker2237]

Love me some Ab I've learned so much from him❤❤❤

[@slmartinez9192]

I LOVE catfish. I believe you had another recipe for catfish that included adding Mustard to the mix. I tried that one and LOVED it. I will definitely try this other recipe.

[@nrd515]

I'm going to make some cat with the buttermilk soak, it looks great. Maybe not so much spice in it, and I wouldn't touch Tartar with a 10 foot pole, but the basics seem very close to perfect. Good job.

[@psyop6942]

Perfection brother. I found a trick that works well to purge any worms from catfish and also adds a nice flavor. Marinate in mojo for a few hours , pat dry and start your process.

[@dicnixon8999]

You are definitely the man AB, thank you my heavenly brother for another no doubt KO recipe!

[@omileesantiago6733]

Thank you so much for your page I made my fish perfect because of you God bless you ❤️ 🙏 💖 ♥️

[@MzDee-vg3xr]

Hey AB looks so good & crispy, I love ❤️ the taste of Catfish 💥💥💥been out of town visiting the kids & grandkids, glad to see ya cooking up that great looking Catfish 🥰

[@MzDee-vg3xr]

@SmokinandGrilIinwithAB Gm sounds good 👍🏽

[@shelakelley5692]

Mama would add a little flour to the cornmeal. We had catfish all the time growing up cause of an uncle having a stocked catfish pond. Sure do miss those days.

[@anguskhans3828]

Here in Western NY we have bullhead in season at the same time as crappie. I hate all the bones crappie has. We traded our crappie for bullhead and had a feast! Now I gotta try this recipe next spring.

[@nanettewhite8269]

I love your cooking I have been following you for 2 years I am going to definitely try this. I still love your collard greens

[@tanyah562]

This looks amazing!

[@ink23796]

Great video. So I'm trying to learn how to fry fish and when you say 4 minutes frying the fish, is that each side for a total of 8 minutes or 4 minutes total?

[@trishhur5035]

Hi Mr. AB, Perfect timing, I am cooking catfish tonight and this will be my 1st time making tartar sauce. Congratulations on the kitchen expansion. 🎈🎉

[@kathykeasley9126]

Hey AB ,Thanks for sharing and simplifying your recipes 😊

[@kitsune303]

I'm making this tonight! Thanks for the inspiration.

[@TheCarmenShanell]

I'm late to this party... but when i make my tarter, I use what you got plus a lil fresh garlic and onion. And I keep dried dill weed on deck. ❤

[@pammiepamela1016]

I always make my own tartar sauce with dill weed I’m glad to know I have been doing it correctly Now when Resturant gives me tartar sauce I don’t even want it😮! I enjoyed your recipe Must try this Catfish!!

[@bassiclymike]

My favorite hot sauces for adding nice flavor with a bit of heat are Cholula and Cajun Sunshine. I might prefer the Cajun Sunshine by just a little bit. When I want fire I go with Marie Sharp's habanero sauce. Still has excellent flavor but ooooh that heat is niiice.

[@Stantonthestandardstanding]

This catfish looks simple and delicious, gotta try this recipe.

[@debbieanne860]

Is there a temperature to cook the catfish to? I prefer dill pickle relish in my tartar sauce; or nothing but fresh lemon juice. I love it and can even eat it cold for breakfast!

[@PinkBeauty_AKA]

Yum!!! Thanks for posting this… looks so good!

[@DanieWise]

I've only ever heard of Louisiana on your fish fry. But texas pete sounds good too!

[@jeannedamour8844]

Smokin AB I would loveeee to taste that delish Catfish as it's my favorite fish . Can't wait to see what you do with Salmon.

[@lydiagutierrez7334]

[@starshines408eats2]

😊 Yes Sir I haven't had catfish in a minute I usually eat Basa Swai filled but when you make it with flavor it does its thang

[@platinumfreeman]

Frying with the cornmeal, that’s how we do it!!! I use a white, fine ground cornmeal.

[@yvetteminor8142]

Looks good. Thanks for sharing.

[@josh-ww3en]

Absolutely amazing, my coworker put me onto you......always have me hungry watching your cooking

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

Nicely fried catfish.. Enjoy AB! 💪🏼🐞❤️

[@vernawhitehead2990]

I will be trying the fish, look real good.

[@vernawhitehead2990]

Please cook a brisket I don't how.

[@cathyrodgers5930]

Looks Delicious 😋😋😋

[@PINTO2O2O]

AB How do you dispose of the extra oil? Also my favorite hot sauce is Cholula, not overly hot and just the right taste!

[@ElleBrOw]

let the fish grease cool then pour into an empty water bottle. NEVER reuse fish grease ❌

[@WastrelWay]

I don't know what AB does, but leftover oil can be strained through a towel or cheesecloth and stored to be used again. It's good for 3 or 4 times. After that the oil molecules have broken down too much for it to be any good. Cholula is my go-to hot sauce and a dash of it would work in tartar sauce.

[@karimbabir2784]

@smokinandgrillinwithAB, would you add corn starch to cornmeal?

[@michaelapanasewicz9967]

Great video makes me hungry what type and where did you get your burner unit you could cook for me anytime

[@CynthiaManning-tp1rn]

Looks delicious. Blessings 😊 🙏

[@cshubs]

One fish I think is underrated for frying is perch.

[@Dregrice]

Just received the cookbook brotha! ❤💯👍🏿

[@JohnJackson-kl5nl]

I use dill n sweet redish in my tartar sauce and horse radish, mayo, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, sugar.

[@JohnJackson-kl5nl]

Yes sir, I've been watching you. I just don't comment to often.
