CATFISH WITH SPICY TOMATO SAUCE AND PECANS



Catfish With Spicy Tomato Sauce and Pecans image

This is a great, quick meal that's wonderful for doing after work. Any white fish fillet will work with this recipe and when you can get good, summery, red tomatoes you can sub them for the canned. I serve this with a white and wild rice pilaf but it's probably good over pasta as well.

SOUTH CAROLINA CATFISH STEW

When I was living in South Carolina, catfish stew was a popular dish. This is a delicious spicy, tomato-based stew with bacon and potatoes and onions and spices. It is very simple to make and so good to eat. My husband and I would keep the pot on the stove all day and take multiple trips into the kitchen for refills. I hope you enjoy!

CARRIE'S CATFISH LARUE

Something new to do with catfish besides deep frying it! A yummy blend of tomatoes and italian seasonings make this a mild fish dish. Great if you don't care for that sometimes overpowering catfish taste. For a stronger fish flavor, try making the sauce separately and serving over grilled catfish!
