Its taco week at our house, apparently since I will soon be blogging about another taco I made this week – you know sometimes you just get on a roll and really anything you wrap in a tortilla is usually pretty darned tasty. In this case it was catfish. Its all pretty simple. I cut the catfish into bite-sized nuggets and soaked them in milk and seasoned with salt and pepper for about an hour. (Mimi will swear on buttermilk for this process, but I don’t keep that on hand so…if you have it, try it). Next, remove the catfish from the milk and coat with seasoned flour. You can season with whatever you like. Start with red pepper, paprika, salt, pepper and anything else that sounds good to you. Once you coat the fish – fry until crispy and serve in warmed tortillas with whatever you like on tacos. I used plain yogurt (in lieu of sour cream) tomatilla sauce and cheese, I also served orzo and black beans on the side. For that, boil orzo for 8 minutes, drain and serve with warmed black beans – top with plain yogurt (or sour cream) and your favorite salsa. Its an easy meal and if you drain the catfish nuggets, pretty healthy.
