Catfish

 I am not sure if I have shared with you all in the past.  So I will share with you now.  I love to fish.  The thrill, the excitement, and the relaxation.  All at the same time.  Fishing is a great way for me to unwind, enjoy some nature, and catch some dinner.  

Yesterday, was one of my better fishing days.  This cooler is full of catfish.  15 pounds of catfish.  When fishing for these fish, I like to use cut bait.  Witch means, I have to catch the bait first.  (The other reason is cut bait attacks different fish, and you never know what you will get).  

These beautiful plump and heavy cats were caught with in two hours.  The biggest was caught last.  (I had to take a nap).  

Being someone who will either (1) eat what I catch or  (2) release if no one will.  In this case, we ate them all.  We did share with friends.  Because that is the type of people we are, we share.  Each one was prepared differently. 

The one given away, I do not know how it was prepared.

One was set in a Philippine braised dish.  The fish was cleaned, and cut into steaks.  The steaks we then added to a coconut milk braise with vegetables.  In my haste to taste, I forgot to document the process.  Have no fear, next time I will.

The last was also cut into steaks and fried.  This was food for a week. It also fed three families.  Fishing  

Thanks for reading about my little adventure.
