Cajun Compromise Catfish

Recipe
Cajun Compromise Catfish
Ingredients
2 pounds catfish fillets, cut into 2 inch pieces
1 cup milk, or as needed
1 egg
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground mustard
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
1 dash pepper sauce, such as Franks? Red Hot? or Tabasco? (optional)
1/4 cup oil for frying, or as needed
Method
Soak the fish pieces in milk for at least 30 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and hot pepper sauce. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, cornmeal, pepper, mustard and Cajun seasoning. Dip fish pieces into the dry mixture, then into the egg, then back into the dry mix. Set on a plate in the refrigerator and chill for about 15 minutes. This will help the batter stick to the fish.
Heat more than enough oil to cover the bottom of a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Fry fish pieces for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Depending on how much and what kind of Cajun seasoning you used, some of the breading may get darker than the rest.
Drain the fish on paper towels and serve with hot sauce or tartar sauce. Enjoy!

Recipe
Chinese-Style Baked Tuna
Ingredients
4 to 6 tuna* steaks (about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick)
About 2 green onions (green and white part)
4 to 6 cloves garlic (slice into thin cross-sections)
1 tablespoon ginger, sliced into thin strips
Juice of 1/2 to 1 lemon
2 tablespoons white wine, rice wine or tequila
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons brown sugar
Couple drops of hot sauce (Chinese red
pepper sauce, Tabasco, etc.)
Method
*can also use any non-oily fish with coarse texture meat

Sprinkle fish steaks with salt to taste the day before baking (you will probably want to reduce the salt a little because soy sauce is very salty).

The next day, about an hour before baking, drizzle fish with wine and lemon juice. Next, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

While oven is heating, slice garlic, ginger and green onions. Green onions can be sliced into 2 in. segments. Next, prepare soy sauce mixture by mixing it with brown sugar and hot sauce. When ready to bake, line a Pyrex baking dish with foil and line it with about 1/4 of your ginger, green onions and ginger. Place fish steaks on top and place remaining ingredients on top of fish. Pour soy sauce over top and make a sealed pouch using foil.

Bake fish in sealed pouch for about 15 minutes. Open pouch and bake uncovered for about 10 more minutes or until done. Be careful not to overbake. Also, please note that the ingredients in this recipe do not have to be exact measurements. If you use less or more than the specified amount, everything will turn out just fine.
