Categories     Seafood

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 catfish fillets
2 6 oz cans crabmeat, drained, flaked
1 c italian-style bread crumbs
1 celery rib, finely chopped
2 eggs
2 Tbsp light mayonnaise
4 Tbsp melted butter
1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
3/4 tsp white pepper
1/4 tsp paprika

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350. Spray a 9" x 13" baking dish w/ cooking spray. In bowl, combine crabmeat, bread crumbs, celery, eggs, mayonnaise,2 tbsp butter, worcestershire sauce and 1/4 tsp pepper. Mix well.
  • 2. Lay catfish on cutting board. Season w/ remaining pepper. Spread crabmeat mix equally down center of each fillet.
  • 3. Starting at long end, roll up. Place seamside down in baking dish. Brush w/ remaining butter. Sprinkle w/ paprika. Bake 25-30 mins, or until fish flakes easily.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest catfish fillets you can find. Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, sweet smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the catfish fillets. This will help the stuffing adhere to the fish and prevent it from falling out during cooking.
  • Don't overstuff the catfish fillets. Too much stuffing will make the fish difficult to cook evenly and may cause it to fall apart.
  • Use a light hand when seasoning the fish. Catfish is a delicate fish and can easily be overpowered by strong flavors.
  • Cook the catfish fillets until they are just cooked through. Overcooked catfish will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the catfish fillets immediately. They are best when served hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Crabmeat stuffed catfish is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are a seafood lover or just looking for a new and exciting way to cook catfish, this recipe is sure to please.
