If you do not know how to cook a catfish, then I recommend that it is best to fry it. It's both simple and very fast in time.
It is best to always use fresh, chilled fish for cooking.If you have a whole carcass, then first you need to peel it and cut it into portioned steaks.
There is no freshly caught fish in our area and, therefore, we have to settle for frozen.
You can also cook fish in egg batter.
If you want to get a more flavorful fish, then before frying it can be marinated in any suitable marinade based on mustard, soy sauce or lemon juice. Also, fish can not only be fried, but also baked in the oven with various vegetables, such as potatoes, tomatoes, broccoli, bell peppers, corn and others.
Catfish steak, cooked in breading, is obtained with a delicious, appetizing crispy crust and a tender, juicy middle.
You can serve such fish as an independent dish, or with a side dish, for example, with mashed potatoes. It is best to use it in freshly prepared form. So to speak, immediately from the frying pan.
