EASY SMOKED CATFISH SPREAD

Steps:

• Cut fish filets into 2" pieces and place in large skillet with wine and salt. Poach gently until thoroughly done, about 15 minutes.
• Drain fish well, discarding wine, and place in food processor with onions, capers, and seasonings. Remove to bowl and blend in mayonnaise and horseradish, adding a bit at a time until desired consistency is reached. Should not be too thin.
• Chill overnight. Sprinkle with extra capers, and serve with crackers or crostini.

PAT'S SMOKED CATFISH

Steps:

• Combine the buttermilk and hot sauce in a 13 by 9-inch casserole dish. Add catfish fillets and cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. After 1 hour, remove the catfish from the refrigerator and pat dry with paper towels.
• Set up your grill for indirect heat at a medium-low temperature, about 275 degrees F.
• Mix together the oregano, lemon peel and salt, pepper, in a small bowl. Lightly coat the fish with olive oil and sprinkle the seasoning evenly over the catfish fillets.
• Put the catfish on the grill away from the hot coals. Smoke the catfish until it is fully cooked through and golden brown, about for 45 minutes. Remove the fish from the grill to a serving platter and serve with the Orange Dill Cream Sauce.
• Add all the ingredients to a serving bowl and serve with the smoked catfish.

COLD CRAWFISH DIP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add half of the green onions, and cook until wilted. Add the crawfish tails, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• In a large bowl, stir together the cream cheese and mayonnaise until well blended. I like to use an electric mixer. Season with hot pepper sauce and Worcestershire sauce until the mixture is pink in color. When the crawfish have cooled slightly, stir them and the butter into the dip along with the rest of the green onion. Mix well, cover and refrigerate overnight to properly blend the flavors.
