[mauimom67]

Aloha Betty, thanks so much for the info. I can't wait to try this recipe w/ some fresh fried catfish. YUM!

[bettyskitchen]

@mauimom67 I hope you enjoy the recipe!

--Betty  :)

[mauimom67]

Aloha Betty, we don't have the cornmeal/flour mix on Maui. What is the ratio of cornmeal to flour, to baking powder that I need to use to make my own hush puppy mix? Thanks!

[bettyskitchen]

@mauimom67 You can use 2/3 cup cornmeal and 1/3 cup flour to make one cup of mix. Ad 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt to complete 1 cup of self-rising cornmeal mix.

--Betty :)

[married1959]

I have 2 questions? 1. do you have a video where  you make hushpuppies? what food goes with what oil as far as frying? olive , peanut, canola , safflower, etc

[bettyskitchen]

@married1959 Yes, just search bettyskitchen for hush puppies--they are great! I usually use peanut oil for frying, because the temperature gets very hot (about 350 degrees F), and that is well below the smoking point of peanut oil.

god bless you betty lee!

[bettyskitchen]

@TheAbe1212 Thanks for your sweet comment!

--Betty :)

[MrsTessein]

Excellent! I am going to make this tonight for my husband and 3 kids, but instead of broiling I am going to bake...

[bettyskitchen]

@MrsTessein That will be great!

--Betty :)

[laurysocheerful]

is it possible for me to deep fry the catfish instead of broiling it?

[bettyskitchen]

@laurysocheerful Yes, catfish is great deep-fried. I have a video on that. Just search in bettyskitchen for fried catfish.

--Betty :)

[bettyskitchen]

@YoungNMarried Thanks for your great feedback! I really appreciate it!

--Betty :)

[bettyskitchen]

@YoungNMarried When broiling, you normally have the top burner on, and leave the oven door open just a small amount throughout the cooking process. This insures that the burner will stay on. Tilapia is fine for this recipe.

--Betty :)

[saltyCracka3]

can someone tell me what catfish tastes like?

[rjr1990]

@saltyCracka3 Its the best tasting fish in my opinion. Hard to describe how it taste though.

[ETC92033]

@saltyCracka3

Like a Cat that ate some Fish.:-) It's actually super-delicious. You can pan-fry or deep-fry them. Try this one. Use a rolling pin and crush some Corn Flakes Cereal. Coat the fish fillets by dabbing them in the flakes. No butter needed...just dry flakes. When fillets float to the top in the cooking oil they are done. Super-diddly-delicious. Tryt it...You'll love it.

[ocamp4]

what temp and how long? thanks!!:)

[bettyskitchen]

@ocamp4 The complete recipe is always with the video. Just click the down arrow or "more info."

--Betty :)

[0Avey7]

@bettyskitchen you def didnt give the Temp :(

[bettyskitchen]

@0Avey7 This catfish is broiled. For broiling, set your oven to broil (not a specific temperature) and leave the oven door open a slight amount.

--Betty :)

[FILMMAKERCHAP]

I love american cooking, lol this is a brilliant, classy video well done Betty!

[D00M696]

i had some catfish in the freezer and didn't know what to do with it!... then i thought, "Betty!"

[bettyskitchen]

@D00M696 Thanks for your lovely comment! I appreciate it!

--Betty :)

[onyve]

Hi Betty,

When you dip in the butter, don't the bread crumbs fall off into the butter-lemon mixture?

[bettyskitchen]

Maybe some of them do, but it's not a problem at all. The coating is very generous. Thanks for asking!

--Betty :)

[Jaymeiski]

Thanks Betty! I'm going to try your recipe right now!

[bettyskitchen]

I hope it comes out great for you! Thanks for your sweet comment!

--Betty :)

[AvEryBadApPLe]

awesome!!!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your great comment!

[nabeshabu]

Nice dinner service. Is it a family heirloom? :D

I much prefer broiling fish over pan-frying as well.

Catfish is not that popular where I come from, but I am sure I can find some at some larger fresh fish and seafood markets.

Thank you Betty :)

[bettyskitchen]

Thank you for your sweet comments. Yes, you can use this recipe with any type of fish. The serving pieces are from a set of china that I bought in an antique store about 20 years ago. (I have 6 sets of china, one of which I inherited--I just love fine china!)  You are very welcome for the recipe!

--Betty :)

[nabeshabu]

I like fine dinnerware and cutlery for special occasions :D What I have is inherited from my grandparents. It is somewhat high-maintenance, so I only use it for elaborate dinners :)

I have already had catfish here, a long time ago, when I was a kid. My parents prepared it at the time.

I have a fishing license, so I can go catch some fresh ones on my own, as they are easily found here in the local rivers. :D

[bettyskitchen]

I hope you have been able to fish for catfish. I am thinking of making some cornmeal-coated catfish--I think it will be more popular than my oven-baiked catfish! Thanks for your comment!

--Betty :)

[nabeshabu]

I am supposed to go to the countryside this weekend. I will bring my fishing gear. I have cornmeal in my pantry, so this will be an idea for some creativity in the kitchen, should I catch anything.

One of my mother's hobbies was trying out new recipes at least three times a week. I suppose I inherited this habit from her :) Her experiments almost always turned out well.

All the best, Betty :D

[MsMellowmoon]

Betty

I accidently found your video's on you tube and love them. You are a great cook..

I have tried several recipes and they are wonderful!

Thanks for taking the time and sharing.

[bettyskitchen]

Hi Donna,

Thanks for your sweet comment! I am happy that my recipes are useful to some of you out there! Thanks for the lovely feedback!

--Betty :)

[acreasy1]

This is probably the tastiest catfish I've ever eaten! I made this along with your parsley and chive baked potatoes and our whole dinner was just delicious! The fish was flavorful and easy to prepare. I really appreciate all the recipes you post!

[bettyskitchen]

Thank you for your sweet comments! I try to keep things easy, because I know people are busy, but they must taste great, too! I'm glad you liked the catfish and potatoes!

--Betty :)

[JoeHell67]

Hi,

Betty,that catfish looks really mouthwatering!

drizzle some lemon juice on it and... yum yum!

Thank you for sharing!

Joe

[bettyskitchen]

You're welcome, Joe. This is a really easy one, and it is so tender and tasty! And, you can use the recipe on any fish you like. Thanks for commenting!

--Betty :)

[wtf4real123]

I used this recipe today on some catfish I caught friday, and it was AMAZING. I'll use this recipe a lot. Thanks Betty! :-)

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for the wonderful feedback! I really appreciate it!

--Betty :)

[burgerwisdim]

Would catfish have the same flavor strength as river trout ? I feel sooo hungry looking at this meal.

[bettyskitchen]

I think they would be about the same. For this recipe, you may use any type of fish. It is a very easy recipe to do, and for any fish you will only broil it for about 8 to 10 minutes. I hope you get to try it!

--Betty :)

[sam52877]

Hi Betty,

Do you wash off your fish before preparing? Thanks for another great recipie!

Sally :)

[bettyskitchen]

Yes, I do. In this case, I had frozen them, and I thawed them carefully in cold water. Then I poured the water off and dried them. Thanks for your question!

--Betty :)

[DebMorganPD]

That looks wonderful. I've never had catfish before. I'm from New England so it's mostly cod and haddock for us. But I might have to give it a try!

[bettyskitchen]

Hi Deb,

You can use this recipe with any type of fish. Just watch the oven carefully as it broils, because you don't want it over-bro9wn! Thanks for your comment!

--Betty :)

[skabibble]

This all looks so fantastic and I like the way you prepared the catfish! I think this would be good with monkfish too, but its so expensive. Thankyou for showing this complete meal:)

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your kind comment! The recipe can be used on any type of fish, so don't feel like it has to be catfish! Thanks again!

--Betty :)

[mrignuf]

yet another yummy meal you have produced! i want to eat at your place :d

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks! Yeah--if you only lived close...

--Betty :)

[SexyEyez89]

This looks so good!....how much do broiling pans cost?

[bettyskitchen]

I found them at Kohl's online for $24.99, but you may be able to find them elsewhere for less.

--Betty :)

[MooMyCafe]

Thanks! Now, I just have to find the fish!!!

[bettyskitchen]

Use any type of fish that you like. It does not have to be catfish!

--Betty :)

[yumyum215]

Hey betty love your chanel by the way! can i use this recipe with talapia?

[bettyskitchen]

Yes, and it works for other meats, poultry and fish. You just have to cook them different amounts of time. For poultry and other meats, you should bake at 350 with a closed oven door for about 30 minutes. But, for any type of fish, just do it like this! It's very quick! Thanks for your question!

--Betty :)

[ladyluv1000]

look's really good.. catfish is my fav.. thank's

[bettyskitchen]

Well, this is not your normal fried catfish (which is always a favorite), but it is very healthy and tastes really great! I hope you like it! Thanks for your comment!

--Betty :)

[junkmail1]

Looks wonderfully delicious! Beautifully presented as well! (as always). Thanks for the great recipes Betty =)

[bettyskitchen]

You are very welcome! I hope you found a few things that you would like to try! Each recipe (done separately) is very simple and easy to do! Thanks again for viewing and commenting!

--Betty :)

[fezan84]

Looks great -- do you turn the fish when broiling or just keep it on one side? Thanks for the recipe =]

[bettyskitchen]

If it doesn't tend to over-brown, there is no need to turn it. You need to watch it carefully, and if seems to be brown enough after about 4 minutes, you should carefully turn it to let the other side brown for the additional 4 or 5 minutes it needs to cook. The important thing here is to get it done (not over-done), but to have a nice golden (not burned) coating! Thanks for letting me clarify that point!

--Betty :)

[SheSingsLovely]

mmm I'm going to do this with my pork chops tonight!

[bettyskitchen]

That's a great idea!  The breading would be good on poultry, beef, pork, as well as other seafood! Thanks for bringing up the substitution!

--Betty :)

[alphahydri]

I love your top! Great recipe too! Thanks!

[bettyskitchen]

Thank you on both accounts! Thanks for viewing and commenting!
