My husband and I decided to take a quick trip down to Jekyll Island, Georgia before tax season starts. My mom and dad bought a little house down here almost a year ago, and this is our third trip down. I really, really, really wanted to find a glass float, so in my over zealousness, we rode our bikes around the entire island - about 17 miles. (Scroll down for pictures.) It was cold and windy and I wasn't sure I was going to make it back. Today my butt hurts and my legs are tight, but that didn't stop us from doing a little run around the golf course out back. Needless to say, we worked up an appetite, so I decided to cook the catfish we bought on sale at the Winn Dixie in Brunswick. It ended up really yummy, although I might use regular breadcrumbs next time instead of the Panko bread crumbs. First, I adapted the remoulade recipe I found online to my own taste:
Tarter/Remoulade Sauce of Sorts
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 to 1/2 cup mayo
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp ketchup
1 splash hot sauce
1 splash Worstershire
2 tsp prepared horseradish
1 Tbsp. sweet relish
Next, I combined 10 Tbsp. of Zatarain's Shrimp-Fri with 1/2 cup water and spread the paste on the catfish. Then I rolled the catfish in Panko bread crumbs and fried them in oil. I couldn't keep my husband out of them before I had them and the black beans and rice ready. No amount of coffee is going to keep me awake now...
