Catfish Curry image

I bought some catfish fillets without knowing what they were (they were sold in Catalan) and when I found out and did some research, I was a little disappointed to hear that the flavour was supposed to be less than impressive. So, I decided to curry them, and was very impressed with the results. The texture of the fish is perfect for currying and this curry, which isn't too strong, allows the delicate flavour of the fish to come through. Will definitely do this one again!
