Catfish Nuggets

AKA bellies-ready for the oven.

Seasoned with Montreal Steak Seasoning cause I like dill with fish. And extra dill.

I hate fish !

You would have hated these! I ate 4 small pieces and put the rest by the ditch behind the house for the fox and coons to eat.
They were nasty! Too much oil and fat on any kind of farm raised catfish. I went through each piece under running water, removing any membrane, etc. Still, that layer of fat and oil doesn't present until cooked. They feed those things grain pellets.

Give me catfish that eat worms, bugs, and other fish, and come out of the river or lake. They don't have that layer of off tasting oil and have a mild flavor.

I bought a 15 pound box of those nuggets( lol bellies. Not even filets) on sale for $19.99. I still have plenty left. I used to make fish couvillon(courtboullion/fish soup) and just cook them down till day bust up into flakes. But I lost my taste for that too.

Farm raised filets are like $7.99/lb on sale and still have that nasty layer of fat.

I'll just go down the road 5 miles and get some good filets or small whole catfish from my podnuh. He only fishes the lake here and his fish are the best around.
