Catfish au Lait

[bigfreak]

The wife made this last night and I just finished the left overs for lunch. Man it is good.

Catfish au Lait

1 (12-ounce can) evaporated milk
1 teaspoon Old Bay or other "Crab Boil" seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
3 to 4 catfish fillets

Combine the milk, Old Bay, pepper, salt, and onion in an electric skillet, cover, and bring to a simmer. Add the catfish to the liquid, spooning some of the liquid over the fillets.

Reduce the heat to low, around 140 to 145 degrees, cover the skillet, and poach for 6 to 9 minutes.

NOTE: user the farm raised catfish you can buy in the store. The wild ones taste like mud.

Notice the use of Kosher salt. If you don't have that kind of salt, you'll have to use less normal salt there is a conversion, but I donno what it is.

This is one of those things were the kids took one look at it and stuck their nose in the air and put the "I'm not eatin that" face on. Then by the end of the dinner they all had asked for seconds. LOL

Also the 140-145 degrees thing can be done real easy with your RC temp gun.

I'm not a big catfish guy, but that does sound good.
