Catfish Bisque

Recipe #16007 | 1 hour | 30 min prep | SERVES 4 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Kim Weimer

This is my version of a Lobster Bisque. My Family can not have Shellfish so I switched it to Catfish. Might be good with another kind of fish.

    I did not use a catfish...I used something else but I forget what!! Everything else I did to the letter. I thought it was very good, I'm a big fan of lobster bisque. I'm not sure why the other person only left 3 stars if she thought it was great. Anyway, this is a less exspensive way to make bisque. Thanks!

    I tried this with the vegetables I had on hand - I left out the beans and okra and used a little bit of zucchini. It turned out great, even according to a couple of construction workers. I'm going to try it without browning the catfish next time.

    Delicous! My only suggestion is to make sure you stir often while it is simmering. Also, I would rather chop the potatoes instead of dicing. Otherwise, this was just delicous. Reminded me very much of clam chowder, creamy and yummie.
