Here’s one of my favorites, courtesy of my longtime fishing buddy Tóño the Mexican…
You’ll need these:
2 catfish around 2-3 pounds
Limes
Potatoes
Cabbage
Carrots
3 jalapeños
Onion
Garlic
Cilantro (all vegetables and spices based on whatever ratio you prefer)
Chicken broth
Crab stock
1 dozen jumbo shrimp, peeled and de-veined
Get the broth and whatever amount of hot water you added boiling. Throw in all the plant matter except the limes.
Cut off the heads of the fish and discard. Clean and chop each fish into 5 pieces. Throw the vertically-cut pieces of fish (including the tail) in the pot, then throw in the shrimp. Cut the heat to med/low, and simmer for 2 hours.
