How to Cook Catfish and Hushpuppies Southern Style
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- Chef Robert Wiley shows us how to do a traditional southern style fish fry with fresh catfish and hushpuppies. In keeping with tradition, Wiley also prepares hushpuppies, a cornmeal fritter, as an accompaniment to the catfish. As he explains in the video, the hushpuppies are a cornmeal fritter often served with seafood. Both recipes from the video are posted on Cooking Up a Story: cookingupastory...

The fun part is catching them and cleaning them yourself. I learned this as a young kid it is a valuable tool!
Candace Vaillette I just cleaned my first cat fish today. I have to say it took alot out of me. I feel drained having cleaned them up.
After you gut them,
You have to nail the head to a board slice the skin all around the neck, then get pair of pliers and start pulling the skin down. Very fast way to do it. Otherwise it is a wrestling match to clean one!! :-)
Candace Vaillette n.
we had big BIG nails with the heads cut off and sharpened in a few of the fence posts out back, you just 'spear' the cat fishes head on the nail and let the body hang down, thats where we gutted and peeled them..
You can clean them quite easily including filleting and skinning all in one step. I started with the nail in the head method and then skinning without the nail and finally now I fillet and skin them using an electric knife.
Awesome!!!! Many thanks for you skills!!! Most folks don't know cooking takes a lot of time, effort and Love to get to where you are going with your dish. Congrats.....
I know!! ;-) Chef Wiley lived and studied in Kentucky for awhile and embraced many of their cooking traditions. And fyi, there was not a nibble leftover afterwards - it was some of the best fried catfish and hushpuppies I've ever had! =)
I really enjoyed this video. I have never cooked Catfish and found your video. I now feel confidant in cooking some up. I loved the un-rushed, clear spoken and informative approach. Thanks ! One more way to use the restored cast iron I have collected .
Agreed, Chef Wiley did a great job - and it tasted so good! Hope you have a chance to make some soon. Thanks for watching!
Mcgee Covered Bridge Restaurant💜💚 You have always been in my heart.
Thanks. Always nice to see what other people are doing and it looks amazing.
I cook catfish with your recipe and come out perfect, I also try chicken and comes out good. thank you for the recipe.
Loved how you explained everything. Learned so much from watching this video. Thank you.
Love it..im passin this method to my soul sistas and brothas...u are officially family!!
The reason it has the muddy or murky flavor is because you need to cut all the red and gray and dark meat out of them . I saw a lot of the nasty meat still left on those fillets . Once you clean that away and let soak in salt water over night , it's ready . Catfish are really under rated due to the fact they are not clean correctly . I clean and cook them and there is NO nasty taste .
ALSO it depends on where the fish lived, the colder and cleaner the water the better your cat fish will taste, IF you can find a cold clear and RUNNING stream with catfish in it you will have the best meat around, they are firm and sweet flavored.
Lol
Exactly
This looks great, and simple enough so that even I could do it!
Yummy. Great job! I learned a lot of things about cooking. You are an awesome teacher. I hope to see more of your videos.
great video !! can't wait to try, it was a pleasure watching you. You need your own show !!
Thank you from Charlotte nc jay. Delicious food. Thank you
My Dad gets them battered and puts them in the freezer for 6 hours then drops them in the deep fryer ... they don't taste oily doing it that way.
Awesome video! Me and My 8 year old will have to try this. Thank you for sharing
so YUMMY-LICIOUS with a down home feeling.thank you for sharing.
I really love a flour/cornmeal 50/50 ratio fish fry with hush puppies omg man...I just love it, that looks so good man!
I like to make a wash with milk, egg, mustard, garlic powder, and Tony's Creole Seasoning. Fish is soaked in this mix until ready to be fried. You then move the filet directly to the mixture of cornmeal and flour mix which also contains garlic powder and Tony's.
Nice video thank you so calm and Collective I thought I was watching Mister Rogers frying fish
looks delicious, i can't wait to try this recipe. love the color of the kitchen, very bright
Great looking meal. I usually put my fish on bread with mustard and hot sauce. Thanks for sharing.
nice.casual video. next time i catch catfish on the patuxent river here in southern Maryland....i might filet them and try this diy. way 2 go Chef W. !
Very good fish recipe - have used more than once and plan to use over again. Used Tabasco this last time because it was all that I had...ummm well it definitly give it more kick than Texas Pete!
A gre8t video. I really enjoyed the way you gave instruction and kept it very simple.
Hope you make more videos.
Now all I need is to catch some fish...Good thing I have a choice of salt water fishing or fresh water.
Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed watching.
his voice kinda reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite c:
Are you going to eat those tots?.....gosh
Yessssss
I caught you a delicious bass
great chef. no bs!
Thorough tutorial...great tips too.. Thanks.
Wow I remember the first time I had catfish and hush puppies. Surprisingly delicous for a bottom feeder. I might have to get in touch with Martha Stewart she is a awesome cook and baker.
When it floats, it's done.
Now I got a Big Decision to make for supper, Frog Legs or Catfish, either one will make your stomach smile--Great Video, good presentation....
That looked so good I'm going to try to make this hopefully it will come out like yours did
Those hushpuppies look good. I usually dont go southern seeing as I am from Chicago but I do fish and catfish nuggets are on my plate quite a few times during open water season. They might go well with bluegill too.
hope you can give it a try - they were truly delicious!
Hey, Great advice on spice additives! I know that from experience that catfish not cooked long enough is a little mushy and cornmeal allows you to cook longer to firm cat up a bit more ,which helps allot. I want to do up some fritters..making me droolll.....Great vid...Mark
this is a great video. Very well done. Thanks
One pot solution if you are looking for a new delicious and balanced way to cook catfish nugget stew - add one lb of freshly thawed nuggets to a pot, dump in a can of diced tomato and green chiles (very popular canned product in the tomato sauce or Mexican foods aisle) and a cup of frozen cut okra, optional is a tablespoon of capers. Simmer 5 min and serve with rice, bread or ramen. For a slightly less strong catfish flavor, simmer the nuggets one minute only in boiling water and drain before adding ingredients. Some larger stores will even have the tomato, chile and okra all in one can. The chiles are mild, don't be intimidated. This gives you vegetable vitamins and fiber with no frying oils at all. Also the most energy efficient way to cook in one little pot. I came up with this on my own in a flash of inspiration. I have also baked nuggets in a toaster oven foil tray seasoned with capers only, delicious and cheap!
You are SERIOUSLY AWESOME!!! Im TOTALLY subbing and cant wait to make this for my husband and athletic boys, I know they will inhale these lovelies in droves. Thank you for your time.
I love it.. That looks Absolutely Phenomenal 😊😎😋👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks for the recipes, I'm trying both today.
Awesome cook there Robert,we just did fried catfish no hushpuppies,but the catfish was awesome.thanks for a great recipe...
This looks really good for shrimp!
dude you are awesome........this looks delicious
the catfish in the bag is a really neat idea .. thanks ill try that ,
I asked Chef Wiley, and this is what he said:
"I would use peanut oil if possible or any type of lightly flavored vegetable oil on the shelf (canola, corn, soy...etc). I would avoid olive oil do to its strong flavor. In the old days lard would have been the frying medium of choice."
That was awesome I'm coming back for more of your videos
Glad you liked it! Check out his demo on 'How to Make Black-eyed Peas & Cornbread' - the best I've ever tasted, and I have them every year. =)
Nice Job! Especially for someone without the qualifying accent!
Great tips! Thank you.
I never understand why people click on a recipe to say negative things. There is no ocean where I live, so I eat the fish I can get economically most times. No need for you to say what you eat is better blah blah blah. That’s your opinion and this is a teaching video not a debate seminar. The foods we grow up eating will always be near and dear to our hearts. If you are closed minded watch only your culture, parents recipe or broaden your horizon.
it looks so delicious!!
definitely going to give it a try
Well done and I'm a bit shocked your not from the South because that recipe is 100% soul food style. As I said this was well done.!
great tips, thanks! This took my fish tacos to 11!
+Jon Janaka Awesome!
Grating onions makes it like applesauce and onions are good for you I put mine in a ziplock baggy and it gets a pink juice in it and I add it to everything. and the onions last longer.Its really good for deviled eggs.
Nice job! I would have liked to had seen paper towel, parchment, or just newspaper used to soak up some of the excess oil off both the Fish & Hush Puppies... but great presentation none the less.
Mmmmmm.... I LOVE me some hushpuppies!
Great video! I have one question. At the 1:23 mark in the video you talk about Vinegar and cayenne but you don't show/tell how much you use. A little help please, thanks!
GODSPEED The full recipe (with amounts) is on our website: cookingupastory.com/how-to-cook-catfish-with-hush-puppies-southern-style
As for the vinegar, I believe Chef Wiley is referring to the ‘southern-style’ hot sauce (the written recipe calls for a Louisiana style of hot sauce), because “some particular styles are high in vinegar content similar to the American Louisiana-style sauces.”
Hope this helps and you have a chance to try the recipe - it was so good!
I am eating the catfish i caught at the same time i am watching your video! nom nom!
Wow.....Sure wish I could eat all that,,,yum yum
great show man, I'm going to cook that meal in the AM
Awesome fish and hushpupoies
Good video, gosh am I ever hungry now!
Thank you ! Delicious !!
New Subscriber. You had me at Catfish. Keep the videos coming.
I applaud your effort, but have a question--where did you get this recipe? I was born and raised in Mississippi and ate catfish and hushpuppies all my life. I have NEVER heard of anyone marinating catfish in hot sauce, or putting jalapeno peppers in the hushpuppies. Just curious about where the recipe originated.
rdjones451 probably some yankee recipe
rdjones451 me too, the Delta, Cleveland to be exact, he is probably a Yankee...lol
Very nice, now I'm hungry.
Cooked to perfection 👍
looks amazing. thanks!
Salivating😛😛
I'm going to be doing whole catfish tonight but this looks really good.
double cooking.. never tried that, but it looks yummy
Love Love Love this video excellent job
YUMMY! I LOVE both catfish and hush Puppies! HINT: try adding some banana pepper chopped fine to your hushpuppies! Really great new taste!
DUDE THAT LOOKS GOOD FRIDAY I'M HAVING CAT FISH AND HUSH PUPPIES
Can't hardly beat eating like that.
You've got skills - breaking those eggs with one hand. I have to try that!
what is catfish without hushpuppies?! some great info here, thanks!
***** I second that motion or maybe I will keep it as my own little secret mouth watering delight.
Looks great!
Thanks man.. Great tips 4 a beginner
Thank you so much for posting. God Bless:):):)
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmuh great job I'm trying that this monday GREAT JOB..
Now this Fella knows how to rustle up some Grub!! Most Excellent!
Have you tried martha white's corn meal self rising?
great tips!
Nice job..
great video!
this is a great video !
Important question, how long do you cook and at what temp? when your catfish is chewy/rubbery is it overcooked or under-cooked?
Under cooked. Fish gets flaky when it's done. Overcooked fish gets dry, but its still flaky.
I'd really like measurements or ratios for the hushpuppie mixture.
Tanya, check the description box above - just after 'Both recipes from the video…' there's a link to our website where the recipes are. Enjoy!
What oil is best? Do you keep the same temp for the hush puppies?♥️
I don't eat catfish, but LORD I know this is good!
nice channel
I don't know where you find your catfish cheap at, but in my neighborhood it cost more than steak 😂
Thanks so much!
That looks so tasty 👋🏼
Thats good eating right there
dunno about anyone else but when he said 'when the flesh firms up' made me think of jeffrey dahmer lol anyway great guide
When is crappie season in Alabama? Great video!
how do you get the exact measuring ingredients to the hush puppies it would be nice if you gave us the exact amounts
Heni Lee Reis read the video description
What kind of bag is that you used to bread the catfish ?
