Catfish

Method

Catfish Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak the Catfish

    In a large bowl, soak the catfish fillets in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes to tenderize and flavor the fish.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

    In a shallow dish, combine cornmeal, flour, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Coat the Catfish

    Remove the catfish from the buttermilk and dredge each fillet in the cornmeal mixture until evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Catfish

    In a deep skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry the coated catfish for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 5

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. 6

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add shrimp to the skillet, sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning, and pour in lemon juice. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque.

  3. 7

    Finish and Serve

    Remove from heat, stir in chopped parsley, and serve hot.

Wings Preparation

  1. 8

    Prepare the Wings

    In a bowl, combine chicken wings with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the wings evenly.

  2. 9

    Bake the Wings

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange wings in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes until crispy and cooked through.

  3. 10

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Once melted, mix in hot sauce and stir until combined.

  4. 11

    Coat the Wings

    Remove wings from the oven, toss them in the hot sauce mixture until well coated, and serve immediately.
