Barlow’s Blackened Catfish
When we say blackened, we don’t really mean dark. That would mean your catfish is burnt. Or maybe, when hot fat meets dry flavors and spices, they burn to some extent or blacken, giving you an extraordinary, fresh singe and freeing all the oils from the spices directly into the fish.
Cajun catfish served up with simply the exact touch of spices and flavor can make the dish an absolute delight. This dish is ideal for a quick, incredible way to taste the special kind of catfish blended with the traditional method of cooking. Serve Barlow’s blackened catfish over white rice.
