Yesterday Travalon went fishing in the Fox River in
Princeton, and he caught two catfish, one 18 inches long and one 22 inches
long. When I got home from band practice, he was watching a video on his phone
of how to fillet the fish. I said, “Let me have a crack at it,” and to my
surprise it was very easy to do, considering that I have never filleted a fish
before. I filleted the first one, and he filleted the second one. I was
planning to bake the catfish, but Travalon had gotten Cajun Shore Lunch mix to
put on the fillets before frying them, so I ended up frying the fillets while he cleaned up the
fish remains and cooked the rest of our dinner (broccoli and tater tots). It
was truly a team effort! And guess what? Fresh fried catfish in Cajun coating
is delicious! We’ll have to do it again sometime, especially since we have half
the box of Shore Lunch left. We can buy catfish fillets at our neighborhood
meat market (and regularly do), but it is so much more satisfying to eat a fish
you have prepared yourself. Travalon really brought home the bacon (so to
speak) last night!
