Recipes with Catfish
3 recipes
There are 3 recipes here that use Catfish, and every one of them is scored against what is actually in your fridge before it is shown. The quickest is Fried Catfish with Shrimp Paste Sambal at 30 minutes; the longest, Catfish in Spiced Coconut Broth, takes 40.
None of these need an oven, an air fryer, or a microwave — a stove and a pan is enough. 3 are properly spicy.
Catfish turns up most often alongside Bird's eye chili, Red chili, Turmeric and Tomato — if you have one or two of those as well, more of this list becomes cookable tonight rather than after a shopping trip. Add what you have to your fridge and the recipes reorder themselves around it, with anything missing collected into a shopping list.
Fried Catfish with Shrimp Paste Sambal
The sambal is pounded, not blended. It comes out coarse, and that is exactly right.

Catfish in Spiced Coconut Broth
The catfish is fried crisp first, then briefly simmered in spiced coconut broth. It stays firm rather than going soft.

Fried Catfish with Tomato Sambal
The sambal is fried, not raw — that is what makes it keep until tomorrow and taste deeper.
