Davids Catfish Coleslaw Recipes

DAVE'S COLESLAW

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the cabbage, carrot, sweet onion, green onions, and dill pickle.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, dill pickle juice, vinegar, mustard, sugar, cayenne pepper, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Mash together the remaining salt and garlic, and whisk into the dressing. Drizzle dressing over the slaw, and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours, or overnight, before serving.

FRIED CATFISH TACOS WITH CHIPOTLE COLE SLAW - EMERIL LAGASSE

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, cut the catfish filets into 1-inch strips on the diagonal.
• Place fish in a medium mixing bowl with the milk, Creole mustard, hot sauce, 1/2 tsp of salt and cayenne pepper.
• Stir to thoroughly combine and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Make the Chipotle Slaw by combining the chipotle, mayonnaise, honey and lime juice in a large mixing bowl. Add the shredded cabbage, onions, 1/4 tsp salt and thoroughly combine. Refrigerate until ready to assemble the tacos.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a cast-iron skillet or a deep fryer until a thermometer registers 350 degrees.
• In a shallow plate, combine the flour, cornmeal and creole seasoning. Dredge each piece of fish in the flour mixture until well coated on all sides.
• When the oil is hot, gently place the fish in the hot oil and deep fry until the fish is golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fish to a paper-lined plate to drain. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Using tongs, quickly dip the corn tortillas in the hot oil until they begin to sizzle. Transfer to paper-lined plates to drain briefly, then serve, with the catfish and slaw divided among the hot taco shells.
