Saltwater CATFISH! Catch Clean Cook- Po' Boy Fish Sandwich!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- After years of feeding the saltwater hardhead catfish in Brook;s backyard it was time to see how these so called trash fish taste! Hardhead Catfish are so abundant and hardly ever consumed, as they are considered poor table fare. They are unregulated in the State of Florida. I show you how to fillet these catfish as well. I set out to turn this so called trash fish into a tasty Fried Catfish Po' Boy Sandwich with homemade remoulade and tartar sauce!

![Can you eat SALTWATER CATFISH? [Catch, Clean, Cook]](/img/n.gif)
Smart man. Gave his future father in law the first po boy! :)
I'm a Missouri boy, the way you clean your saltwater cats is the same way I clean freshwater ones. It's neat to see it because apparently it's a strange way to do it around here, lol. In my experience, the off putting flavors come from the meat that touches the skin (and the bloodline, obviously). I usually trim just above the skin, leaving that little bit of meat behind. I'm not a fan of skinned catfish, but once I started doing that, I really came to appreciate them. I can't wait to try with saltwater cats next time I'm in Florida.
Here in tn there are alot of catfish being ate. I always put them in yellow mustard like you do with buttermilk, then dredge in cornmeal with 1/3 as much flour. Then they are great no fishy bloodline taste. Brookes father seems a great guy. Hes like me, he simply enjoys to eat.
About a week ago, a channel cat jumped out of my hand and directly spines me halfway through my foot. Don’t let your guard down around catfish
I never understood what people have against hardheads. They're delicious! A bit small, but worth it.
Thanks for letting the native Floridians in Naples know how good the catfish are. I go down there for three weeks around Xmas and fish the beach and they all say that you can’t eat that fish. Well now you showed them there good to eat. Just don’t let them know how good big pinfish are. Thanks Christian
You're right about the tartar sauce, stuff off the shelves often have vinegar in it, and some places that make their own use lemons juice to add a little acidity without the vinegar twinge. I personally use no acid, a very similar recipe to yours, except I add about a tablespoon of chopped up capers.
Always surprised people are shocked about how good these guys are , about one of best eats down there and that includes black fin , black grouper and African pompano
Enjoyed this video. Especially since the kids always catch these. Lol, growing up in the 70s, I don't ever remember anyone having to explain that fishing techniques were not inhumane.
I've always heard bad things about salt water hard head cats. I ate them along time ago and they were delicious. Reminded me of the thin cut catfish fillets you get some places down south.
You guys add so many dimensions to fishing, cleaning and cooking! Thanks for yet another great idea and the sauces looked excellent, thanks for the recipes!
LOL we went shrimping a few weeks ago. I threw my cast net on some bait and ended up with 50ish catfish. They were so heavy it was hard to get in the boat. Buy the time we got them out of the net they were mostly dead. So we filleted them with an electric fillet knife. Had about 8 people over for a fish fry. Everyone liked the catfish. Porgy was the favorite with Lane snapper a close second. I'll be honest I grew up in Florida and have always thought the catfish were trash. Fooled me it was actually pretty good. Thanks for sharing I've been watching you both a long time . Tight lines .
Your father on law in love with you bro. I bet he so glad his daughter ended up with you.
Damn, I want to marry him!
Think how many amazing meals Vic had provided.. who wouldn’t be in love?
He married this girl for her dads canal
@@kenaaronbabbit9987 Isn't it the other way around?
Her dads dad energy is off the charts. Looks like such a fun family .
Thanks for your videos man. I've really enjoyed them and you guys are inspiring during these difficult times. Your grandma is a sweetheart and the reason I felt inclined to comment. God bless you and yours!
I have always hated salt cats, but after watching you fillet I think I am going to try it out. Thanks for the good vid.
I like my knives, so the sound of that blade scraping against the floor is gonna give me nightmares!
I cringed when I heard that knife grinding on the deck. I thought to myself "Put a board under that fish before you cut the tail off". Dexter Russell knives deserve better treatment.
I cried when I saw that happening
And now I want to move to Florida! What is not to like, you guys have the best Governor and awesome fishing!
“Just gonna put a teaspoon” was definitely damn near a quarter cup
He's been watching too much Ramsey
Dude you live in paradise. I hope you’re grateful for that.
I've been spinded before... It hurts like hell
Me too in my foot those wounds if they get you good do not heal for a month or more like mine, but I feel your pain my brother!
I ended up in a hospital because of one. I’ve been stuck many times by ours in Ohio but when my hand got like it did I freaked out and went to the hospital....first time going to Florida.
Jake Blair I hear a lot that freshwater cats are not as bad as salt cats.
@@JACKALTOOTH100 they aren't they small ones are the worst though
I've been spined by channel cats, bullheads and a blue once. I can't imagine the pain of these.
My dad used to cook these up from the caloosahatchee river. Everybody would always say it was the best fish they ever had
Vic, She’s a Keeper. A woman who enjoys hanging with you doing the same things you like to do…. Hang on to Her Buddy and you are going to have a Beautiful Life. God Bless You Brother. We Love You.
Brook, way to go, chickie! Very few females I know would ever touch a fish, UNLESS it was sitting in the grocery store isles!
I've caught a lot of those hard heads before, but have never eaten them before. Do they taste similar to the freshwater variety? I'm definitely going to have to try it now. They really did look delicious. Thanks for the upload Vic.
They look almost identical to the freshwater Bullheads we catch in Michigan, apart from the shape of the tail (square, rather than forked like the ones in the ocean). They looked pretty much the same inside as well as outside, and when cooked, could have easily passed for Bullheads.
Bullheads are delicious, BTW, but, since they're considered a "rough" fish there are no size or bag limits.
I have eaten plenty of hardhead catfish. I do the same thing i bleed them out by cutting off the tail. Only thing different i use an electric knife to Filet them out. They very good if prepared right and far as i see you did an amazing job.
Great video man keep up the great work
Thank you!
I had no idea there _were_ saltwater catfish!
Apart from the forked tail they look just like our Bullheads here in Michigan. (Bullheads have a "square" tail.)
Bullheads are considered a "rough" fish (or "junk" fish), but are actually _excellent_ eating, and quite easy to catch (particularly if you're nocturnal :)
Years (and years) ago I had a friend whose parents owned an orchard (apples and cherries), and way back behind the orchard was a small farm pond (I now have two of my own!)
When he was younger, he and his father stocked it with bullheads (it being too small a pond, and with only an occasional/"seasonal" creek feeding into it) to sustain anything less "robust" than bullheads).
We'd go down there late at night with a pail, some worms, and a Coleman lantern, and go back with a bucket full of Bullheads.
His father had put together a sort of "disassembly line" in their basement. The key component was a huge nail sticking out of a 4x4 post sticking up from floor to ceiling.
We'd cut the skin around the "neck" and then hang the fish on the nail, then pull the skin off with a pliers.
Then we'd cut out the vertical "prong", cut away the gut section, cut off the head, tail, and fins, and be left with meat, spine, and ribs.
Before cooking, we'd cut through the ribs on one side and then "butterfly" the fish. Finally, roll in flour, and fry.
The ribs would usually cook to a crisp, but if not, they were super easy to disregard when eating the fish -- just one "unitary" piece not much larger than a thumbnail and not really any thicker. The meat easily came off the spine. NO bones to pick out of your teeth -- and if you wanted to put it into a sandwich it would have taken less than thirty seconds to remove the meat from ALL of the bones (spine/ribs).
The fish were absolutely delicious, and I've no idea where they got the bad rap for being something no one would _want_ to eat.
The ones you fried looked about the same as Bullheads (if the Bullheads had been fileted).
One thing you might want to try some time would be a good Baguette (either "store bought" or home baked -- they're really easy to make).
A good Baguette will be _very_ "airy" inside -- very big bubbles, NOT a firm/solid loaf -- and the crust will be _very_ crisp.
Instead of slicking open, I'd suggest using a fork, just as is done with an English muffin. Then, butter both sides, and put the fried fish into it. (Even just buttered _without_ fish they're amazing!)
Use any condiments you prefer (I'm partial to cocktail sauce, usually just made ad hoc from ketchup and horse radish), but even with nothing more than a buttered Baguette and crisp fried fish you will have people asking for seconds (and thirds!)
Them complimenting his cooking sounds like a Burger King commercial where they are getting paid to say it tastes good
What a nice dude ue saved the fish from drowning!!!
damn your hella brave for not wearing shoes near those devils on the floor
i just made this mistake and let's say I can't feel my foot rn
Would never have thought about eating those but you made them look delicious and of course bringing Brook's family makes the video more authentic.
“Catfish > Wahoo”
“No way..”
hahaahhahaha
Hahah you heard it here first!!
Antonio %
i think maybe the simplicity of some cornbread fried fish reminds grandma of the old days, but i know those sauces churched it up... i’m starving now.
That's kick ass bro! I know them Hard heads not the best eating... But Down here in Texas we say.. If you ate it before... and didn't like it... You just haven't met the right chef that knows how to cook it!! Good job! Keep up the good work!
All of you are badass ,Brooks included🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Left over catfish can be frozen in sprite or ginger ale. I love it!!!
I see the effort in making those fish fillets and fish dinner. It was awesome sharing them with family members. I’d love to do this with my family
Im about to cook some catfish to bro this is crazy
YESSSS!!
Great video! First time I ever saw anyone eat saltwater cats. Really enjoyed seeing the family's reaction. Keep up the good work!
Whats happing landshark nation
You guys are AMAZING...you have a good life. Continue to enjoy...
"MomMom" I love that . I'm totally using that thank you
Double mom
They look like Chanel cat in picture and those taste good !good job amigo!
These fish are nothing like freshwater catfish. They are horrible. Only eat if starving
@@rsktransport spoken like a true trash cook lmao
Lived in Louisana for 15 yrs and I found out the same thing. Saltwater cats get rid of all the blood line
excellent eats
I love the sound that comes when you stirred the sauce at 15:10
You nasty
Hi guys catfish are the best fish that you can eat we love them and we always eat those kind of fish I only skin them not fly them and fry them in a disc so delicious
I wished I could afford to do the things ya do I'm all about living off what nature provides
Really like the videos with the families, especially Mr. Crist.
When I catch cats, I first cut off the sharp spines. All cats are good eating. 85 year old bait slinger. 🐻
We always used seasoned white corn meal for our Catfish and oysters
I think hard head cats taste better than mackrel that's a very oily fishy fish
If i walk out my front door in New Orleans I can be in Florida in 3 hours, and apperantly thats all it takes to find people who have no idea how to make a poboy. I'm just busting your balls, love the channel, come to New Orleans we'll fix ya right up.
There actually a better way to clean catfish first u chop there head of cut down the middle of its stomach and take out the guts and then all u have to do is peal of the skin
Best to skin them with the head on
In Louisiana we ONLY us corn meal for fried fish. (North Louisiana) I’ve had fish many other ways, but cornmeal fried is my number one favorite. You made my mouth water for a good catfish poboy. Glad y’all used it. Love from Louisiana
Cheers from Florida
Cheers from Corpus Christi Texas. Going to make some hardheads. Thanks for the cool video! Victor#1
Congratulations Vic I love that you and Brook have UA-cam Chanel because both of you are amercing on your videos
God bless you and your family
I like how you go with the flow and don't precisely measure your ingredients! I had to try the Remoulade myself - good recipe! Just waiting on my fish to finish up cooking. Good videos by yourself and Brook! I live in Indiana and partly live vicariously through you guys haha.
Grandma was awesome I wish she was my grandma
LoL I can't help but complement you guys on the music combo during the cooking! Sooo good, makes me want to eat these on vacation!
Awesome, crazy and super unique. Most do no have the guts to eat them. We have all been told many times the meat is terrible, without ever trying it. So we have a bad tast in our head. I think it's pretty cool that you went for it. Good stuff
Man, that looked soooo good!!! Good job!
You have to have saved the tails so you could fry them. They're like fish chips.
Interesting
On second thought..it would be like shark fin soup...then we would have a problem..
@@cag1763 That was literally the only part of catfish my grandfather would eat. All he wanted was the tails deep fried.
Hope yall do a fishing charter business someday of yalls own. Cause yall know where to go to find fish
First like !!!
The best catfish poboy is fried and seasoned Toni's and lemon on french bread with mayo
Louisiana style
I still come back to this video years later, if just to remind me to go out and get a bunch of cats!
Stop with the venomous overkill already 🤫
Didn't know catfish are venomous
If you get stuck by one you will think they are venomous.
Chris Henicke been stuck many times I used to help a pro catfish long liner got stuckk
danthebeeman Been finned bunch of times myself... It sucks. Scrape a little slime off the fish and smear it on the wound, stops the pain immediately. 🤷♂️ Also, seen a guy get blood poisoning from catfish fin. ✌️
White bass, blue cats and flathead cats all have a similar bloodline. All you have to do is take a very sharp fillet knife and filet the red meat off the fillet
Congrats on 500K!!!
Catfish fry all you can eat is the ticket,been to many of them,and there cheap usually 5.99 all you can eat yummy.!!!
The best ones are sailcats ,they get up to 10 lbs.,,how you know the difference is they have long fins,and they are good eating,big no bone fillets.!
Awesome channel. Love it. Lol yeah I remember taking a catfish spine in the hand. It sucked 😂. Kitchen shears make fast work of the tail cut, and also the spines.
That’s great to see someone try different fish. Like the shark you cooked, that was very interesting too! They’re all great if you know how to process and clean.
Love hardhead been eating for years if the red and trout you can take home a ice chest full no limit
Those side gills are super sharp as well.
The next time you fry them, trim out the bloodline completely and then soak them in buttermilk and some Louisiana hot sauce mixed with the buttermilk. Then batter and fry. It’s good. ✌️
I’m copying this recipe with fresh caught redfish!!!! I’m doing your tartar sauce( no vinegar ) keep these recipes coming I need ways to prepare my catch.
If you put your fillets in a pan and just cover with water. squeeze juice of 1 lemon and let soak 1 hr. It will remove the blood line taste.
Brookes dad is super funny
Awesome! Just seeing this. Thanks for sharing 🔥🤘🏻
I love fishing
I’d love to see the taste testers say one day “ AWWW THAT TASTES HORRIBLE!!!”....and see Victor’s reaction 😂
Nice Salty Scales hat Brooke
When I was in high school fishing with my father, we would often stop and catch sail cats for dinner on the way home at the end of the day if we didn't catch anything better to eat. They are great fried up in cormeal
Oh and to get the game taste out of the catfish soaking and salt water overnight and you're good to go you can actually do that with any fish and it tastes totally different
I’ve always stayed clear from catfish as they’re bottom feeders. But after watching this video…I may have to try next time.
I cook these sometimes in fl, I still prefer snapper, but these have a slightly flakier texture, maybe a tiny bit more fishy, I still think they taste great though
Very educational, thanks!
I use corn mill when I’m cooking crappie. Great video guys, can’t wait for my trip to the pan handle side of FL.
I don't eat cat fish ever but that was good a food video, eat what you catch or kill.
The pickles and pickle juice is your vinegar component
That tartar sauce is the best
I does use hot water for the slime and the skin does peel off
Good content Victor 👍👍
Try to use fish trap. leave it overnight and don't forget to put some balihoo chumps as bait.
Man! I gotta try Victor’s recipe!
Great episode. Sure wish you would include you recipes in the comments.
Nice..just fishing at backyard..
nice
Hey All!...glad to y’all are doing good during these uncharacteristic times.
Dad is funny 😂🤣😂...y’all call them “pull boys”...but...if y’all grow up...up north in the city...we call them fish hoagies...and...you can find really good fish hoagies just about everywhere in the neighborhoods...you can’t go to the tourist sights...ya have to go deep in the neighborhoods...😄
But...I did learn something today...I never knew there was a such thing as “saltwater catfish”...there’s just lots a freshwater around me...but man!...I would like to try some of that salt-cat...😄
