I used to have a really good recipe for it but it seems i’ve lost it. I recently bought a piece of it and it doesnt have a very long exp. date so I wanna cook it asap, does anyone here know of any good ways of cooking it?
Re: Catfish
hi Sabriya,
you can make cat fish as you would make salmon or talapia.
the best marination with cat fish is zeera and lemon zest in hot chili powder and salt.
you can smoke it on the griddle on high heat by wrapping the marinated pieces into foil and simply brush over with little olive oil.
when you let it smoke cook in foil, the flavor of the marination will seep into it.
my tried and true methods - dont let it sit out too long.
cat fish for some reason loses its taste when you let it sit after preparing it.
u cans serve it with sauce or mint chutney and nan or rice.
best,
Dushwari
Re: Catfish
Well well, look who bought a fish 
Re: Catfish
:)
Re: Catfish
thanks for the reply dushi baaj... what exactly is lemon zest though? the rind? like the skin grinded and stuff?
Re: Catfish
lemon skin shredded with a shredder. :>
and then also add lemon juice from the same lemons. exactly the rind. but instead of curls like that or orangs peel for zerdah, you need to make the lemon peel shredded. also please make sure their seeds are out. :>
Re: Catfish
Sabriya, thought I 'd just let you know…
catfish feed on just about anything in the bottom of the ocean..including carcass 
I dont know about you but I dont like the idea of eating such a fish.
Re: Catfish
Rednecks love catfish :D
Re: Catfish
Ewww are you serious?! I normally dont eat fish other than mcdonald’s fish filet lol and wanted to incorporate some into my diet for eating healthy and losing weight so picked up what Im most familiar with. What fish do you suggest other than salmon to help with my diet and to lose weight?
Re: Catfish
Talapia and salmon.... don't know much about other type of fishes...
Re: Catfish
Tilapia is a good fish. Gentle taste and smell.
Re: Catfish
hmm i was made to believe that catfish is not halal..since its a 'bottom feeding' fish..
Re: Catfish
Meow!
Re: Catfish
catfish is a good firm fish you can make curry out of fry with masala.
Aren't ALL fish halal, except for maybe whale and swordfish n sharkmeat?
Re: Catfish
yes i am serious
btw…I hear that now you are suppose to eat fish 3x a week…it used to be 2.
salmon is the best because of all the omega fatty acids…tilapia is a good choice as well.
another easy way to incorporate fish into your diet is to pop open a can/pouch of albacore tuna ( i prefer albocore but you can eat any tuna)…it is also a great source of omega 3, approx 110 calories with 2.5 grams of fat AND has 21g of protein!! you can just throw this on top of a nice salad or in b/w a wheat pita or a couple slices of wheat bread and you have a healthy meal right there. It will help you with your weight loss goals for sure.
Re: Catfish
Ok AE, you seem to know alot about this stuff. If I cant eat fish 3x a week, do you think its better for me to just take the fish oil capsules to get the omega 3? It's still gonna do the same job right? I get the same nutrients and all and it helps with my diet... right?

I alway thinks it's best to go straight to the source rather then use supplements unless of course there is a medical reason and the doctor has told you to add them to your diet.
Adding Omega 3's to your diet really isnt that difficult. Like I said make it easy for yourself by eating a can of albacore tuna, salmon (make it simple and bake)....
oh and tofu, flaxseeds, and soybeans are not fatty acids but they become fatty acids in your body once digested......i think.
