Preparation:

1. Gut and clean the fish. Using a sharp knife, make a neat and shallow cut in the abdomen from tail to head. Try not to crush the bile, otherwise the fish will taste bitter.

Remove mucus by rubbing the carcass on both sides with coarse rock salt, then wash thoroughly.
2. Cut the finished catfish into the thickness of portioned pieces from the back to the ridge. In this case, the fish should remain whole. Rub the carcass with salt and spices, paying special attention to the cuts. Pour lemon juice over the fish and leave to marinate for 10 minutes. Lemon will fight off the unpleasant smell of sludge.
3. Peel the onion and cut it into thin half rings. Finely chop the greens. Cut the lemon into slices, remove the seeds. Stuff the belly of the catfish with onions and herbs, insert lemon slices into the cuts.
4. Grease the fish with vegetable oil, place on a baking sheet and place in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 45 minutes. Transfer the finished dish to a large plate and serve. Boiled potatoes, vegetables or rice are ideal as a side dish for catfish.

A classic and extremely simple option is fried fish. And catfish is the best suited for this method of heat treatment. You only need a few ingredients:

Catfish makes very tasty and filling cutlets. And to prepare them you will need:

Choose a recipe and enjoy the taste of amazing catfish dishes.

When trying a variety of catfish meat dishes, many people believe that this meat is already quite tender with a sweetish taste, so it does not need additional food fillers and is perfectly cooked in the oven.

When using this type of cooking, you can take fillets or individual fish parts.

Although it is better to bake the catfish in full size, this will add beauty and juiciness to the dish.

Cooking method:

1. First, you need to clean the fish and gut it. Using a knife, make a cut from the tail towards the head. We carefully remove the insides (without damaging the bile). We remove the gills and cut off the head if necessary (if the catfish does not fit on the baking sheet).
2. Leave the skin on (for juiciness). The fish is devoid of scales, but has mucus; it can be removed with salt (rub the sides of the fish with large rock salt, then rinse thoroughly).
3. Then we cut the fish from the back to the ridge (to the thickness of the required portion). Just don’t cut it completely; the catfish should be kept whole, but with cuts at the back.
4. Rub all the fish with spices and salt, especially in the cut areas.
5. Pour lemon juice on it and marinate for ten minutes (the muddy smell will be removed).
6. Meanwhile, cut the onion into half rings and chop the greens.
7. Take half a lemon, remove the seeds and cut into rings.
8. We stuff the belly of the fish with prepared herbs and chopped onions, and place lemon rings in the places of the cuts.
9. Grease the baking tray you are using and the fish placed on it.

The oven should be preheated to two hundred degrees and place the catfish there for 45 minutes.

The fish should be browned and the meat should have a matte white hue.

That's all. Place the catfish on a plate and place vegetables, rice or boiled potatoes around the edges. Now you can put it on the table.
