The recipe of catfish should take into account the featurescooking this fish. Large specimens are very tough, it is difficult to etch a marsh specific odor from their flesh. However, if you do it, they will also be useful in order to cook dishes from catfish. The photos (the recipes are illustrated) show how delicious the pulp has this fish. Catfish is considered the most delicious, if it is sufficiently small and does not exceed half a meter in length.
Preliminary preparation
Som (cooking recipes with photos show,that the pieces of this fish are always served without skin) does not have scales. But its surface is covered with unpleasant slime. If it is not removed, then the dish that will help us prepare this recipe (the catfish should be subjected to several types of heat treatment according to it) will be given by mud and marsh. It is better to clean this fish immediately and from the skin. Or to remove it in the process of primary heat treatment. Rub the cleaned carcass with large rock salt (you can sea).
A simple recipe
Soma is better to cook without adding a largethe amount of oil, because it is a fatty fish. But spices do not need regret - fragrant herbs will be very welcome. First, we give the simplest recipe. Soma, of course, can be smoked, stuffed, baked and made from it cutlets. But all of the above requires a little more skill. In a frying pan you can cook fish in breadcrumbs, not possessing almost any skills. Rub the pieces with salt (do not overdo if the catfish has already been salted during the cleaning process), sprinkle with spices.
Delicatessen baked in sour cream
In the oven, catfish is most conveniently cooked wrappedin the foil. A small carcass can be stuffed with herbs, slices of lemon. Large - stuffed boiled buckwheat with toasted carrots. To the carcass is not overdried, you need to bake it from 35 to 50 minutes. You can also bake catfish in sour cream to keep it juicy. To do this, you need to cut it batchwise, roll in flour, fry. Then put in a baking dish, pour the sour cream and leave in the oven for half an hour. The liquid will evaporate, and the catfish will be covered with a delicate crust. In order to make the taste of the dish richer, it can be baked with vegetables. For example, with a thin onion or pieces of boiled celery.
