Stuffed Fried Catfish

Serving Tip: Serve with a fresh squeeze of lemon or a side of spicy tartar sauce for extra flavor.

Storage Tip: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to keep the crispy texture intact.

Variations:
Extra Spicy: Add more Cajun seasoning or a dash of hot sauce to the stuffing for a spicier kick.

Vegetable Substitutes: You can swap out the bell pepper or celery for other vegetables like zucchini or spinach.

FAQ:
Can I bake the catfish instead of frying it?
Yes, you can bake the stuffed catfish at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes. Brush with a bit of oil before baking to help it crisp up.

Can I use a different type of fish?
Yes, other white fish like tilapia or trout can be used in place of catfish, but adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the fillets.
