Chili and Beer-Braised Catfish image

This is a quick, tasty and different alternative to fried catfish. Tomatoes, beer, chili powder, garlic, onion, Worcestershire sauce and a shot of Tabasco combine in a delicious simmering sauce. This makes a lot of sauce; I like to save what isn't used and add a few impromptu ingredients for a nice homemade seafood stew.

1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 lb catfish fillet, cut in serving-size pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 large onion, chopped
8 ounces bottles beer (lighter is better; I like Mexican beers here, like Sol)

2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce

Steps:

  • In a large plastic ziplock bag, combine flour, chili powder, garlic and salt.
