Guess what I made for dinner tonight?
Beer Battered Bullheads...Yum. I must admit there is something extra satisfying about eating something that you actually preyed upon and caught. There is a sort of carnal element to it.
Here are my tasty pink catfish fillets, cleaning courtesy of dad. I don't clean the fish or take them off the hook. I just catch them and eat them....
I like to have all my ingredients ready and lined up before I start cooking. Here we have all the essentials:
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Egg Mixture (Egg, Budweiser, minced onions)
Flour Mixture (Flour, bread crumbs, salt and pepper)
Whole Wheat Cous Cous w/ veggies (for a side)
and a scant 8 minutes later..... Voila! Beer Battered Bullheads.
They were quite tasty too.
If you are interested here is the recipe for Beer Battered Catfish:
3 lb. catfish
¼ cup Italian bread crumbs (or cornmeal)
¼ cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 12-ounce beer
¼ cup minced onion
Olive Oil (enough to coat and fry)
Salt and pepper to taste
In a medium mixing bowl blend flour, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper together. In a separate medium mixing bowl beat egg well, add beer and minced onions, mix well. Cut the catfish into 2 inch cubes or strips. Heat the oil. Roll the catfish into the flour mixture, then dip into the beer-egg mixture, then back into the flour mixture. Place flour and dipped catfish into the deep-fry, cook until golden brown.
I wish I knew how to make Bullhead sushi, with rice vinegar, wasabi, avacado, and brown rice. I'm sure it could be done.

I admit.....I'm not a fan of fish. I actually do not eat any seafood.
