Time 3h15m

Yield 4-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup hot water
1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 (12 ounce) cans beer (such as Budweiser)
1 tablespoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
6 bay leaves, crumbled
4 large catfish fillets, about 3/4 pound each
to taste olive oil
1 tablespoon wood chips
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
1/2-3/4 cup sour cream
2 large shallots, minced
2 tablespoons capers, in liquid
2 teaspoons caper juice
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
Tabasco sauce (5 shakes (or more)
fresh ground pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Brine and smoke catfish according to recipe. While still warm, break fillets into pieces, removing any bones. Add cream cheese and mix well. Add ½ cup of the sour cream and mix well. Add the shallots, capers, caper juice, garlic and Tabasco. Taste for seasoning, add more sour cream and/or cream cheese at this point if the pate is a little dry or tastes a little salty. Adjust Tabasco and add freshly ground pepper to taste.
  • Note: Do not add any salt to this dish because the brine and the smoke "salts" the fish before it is mixed into the pate.
  • Let chill for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight. Taste once more before serving and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve on the cold side of room temperature on homemade melba toast (slice a loaf of French bread in small rounds, lay out on a cookie sheet and bake in a 250ºF oven until golden and the bread is dried out) or your favorite crackers. Top with a dollop of sour cream and a bit of caviar if desired.
  • Serves 4-10 as an appetizer.

SMOKED CATFISH AND CRAWFISH TAIL SPREAD



Smoked Catfish and Crawfish Tail Spread image

If you don't have a smoker to smoke your catfish filets, I have had some success with oven-smoke bags that you can get at the grocery store. These bags come complete with wood chips and instructions. Simply place your fish in the bag, and bake according to the directions. You can find crawfish tail meat already cooked and frozen in 1-pound packages in your supermarket freezer section.
