Caribbean Style Catfish
Caution: this recipe includes almonds; anyone with a nut intolerance should eliminate this product entirely from the recipe. Farm-raised catfish is reported to be naturally low in overall fat and high in protein. Suggested serving with a plain green salad, (olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing); steamed corn on the cob. A lovely, thick-meat fish, enjoyed frequently by our household. A recipe brochure by delta pride, picked up at the supermarket, added to my files and referenced frequently for quick cooking meals.
