Mustard Fried Catfish Tomato

What are we going to cook for my birthday

Well, I happen to know that you love fried catfish. You know I love anything fried

So what about a mustard-encrusted fried catfish? Oh, girl. Yeah, I thought y'all would love that

Remember, we caught fish in your pond. Absolutely. And you cooked it up for breakfast

There's nothing better than fried catfish and grits for breakfast. I know

Nothing in this world. Well, tell me what you want me to do. Jack was over here the other day, and I bought him a new little Spider-Man riding reel

He loves him to Spider-Man. Honey, I took him outside to that pond, and he pulled two catfish out this big, that big around

They gorgeous. They just jump on your hook. All right, so itch

All right, I tell you what I'm going to get you to do. Now, I just need you to salt and pepper the fish

We're going to make a tomato relish, girls, instead of like just a tart of sauce

And we're just picking off some thyme leaves. Paula when we did the throwdown in Albany the newspaper came and did a story on us Uh So look at there See the picture of us when we did the live show Oh my gosh Sisters cook up a stone but throw down Now that my girl

We teach you proud, Paula. So where's our fish? Right here. Let's just bring it over here

We're gonna just put them in our bowl, and we're gonna marinate them in a Dijon mustard and our thyme

Yum. Doesn't that sound good? Pretty good. And that mustard just gives that catfish the best flavor

So we're just going to pat that on there good. And then we're going to put this in the refrigerator

And I like that to marinate, you know, two or three hours. I can't wait to flop a lip over that

Flop a lip over that? And you know I can do it

All right, just take that knife now. Just to mince that up good, okay

All right, I will. I promise. I'll do you right. I know you will. Well, I ain't worried

Because the last couple of times you got on to us. But we learned. Yeah, we learn every time

What did I get on to y'all about? Well, we kind of, about measuring

That must have been bacon. We were bacon. We were bacon. And you showed us how the right way to level off everything

That's right. And it's important. It helps us. Yes, baby, just throw that over it

All right what I want you to do is just zest this Right Averick Because we got to have a little lemon for our fish I going to be here for days doing this I know it Now take that jalapeno and seed it and don pick your nose after you seeded it

Because you will blow the top of your head off, okay? Or rub your eyes

Oh yeah, don't rub your eyes. I won't. Your cupcakes for your birthday are baking

We got our fish. I love better than fried catfish and cupcakes. So we're making our tomato relish, and it's going to have the juice of one lime

and it's going to have two or three fresh garlic cloves. Why don't I help you with that

Yeah, come on. Come on. Cut that lemon in two and just squirt that juice on top of it

It's just put that in that refrigerator, and I'm just going to finish chopping up this garlic

And we need some lime juice in there. Yes, that juice. Come on and help a sister out

And zest it. I just hate to waste it. It's good. I mean, it brings out the flavor

Well, and it's pretty. It is. And it's just, like you say, just real fresh

I'm trying to make. I'm going to pull out our catfish because

Is that your famous mustard base? Yes. Ooh I love it Love mustard base catfish So I got back here my cornmeal and my flour I like more flour than I do

Does it make a better crust? I don't know. I'm just a flour girl, you know

Now, I'm just going to sprinkle some seafood ball seasoning on it

All righty. I'll add just a couple of ashes. But I love it's awesome

You do? I love it. I love it. I carry it in my pocket. You do

My oil has heated up nicely, so I'm ready to fry up this catfish

Bubba's over there eating the food. Somehow I'm not surprised. What? Y'all call me

Yes, I see you over there. Sneaking a taste. Bring me a bite

Okay. Now I'm just going to get these catfish out. Yum-y. Isn't that pretty? Yes

Yum. We're going to put that tomato relish. When we bite into our fish, y'all

It don't get much better than that. It don't get much gooder. Gooder. Want me to have some

No. Dig into the catfish, y'all. Get back. Is it good? It really is

Mmm. Yum
