    Check that your catfish nuggets are fully thawed and patted dry. Then, apply a seasoning in the form of a crust or a batter, like a seasoned cornmeal crust or a beer batter. Once the nuggets are coated, drop them into 350°F (177°C) oil and let them cook for 10-15 minutes.

    It would make more sense to cut the fish up into 8 oz steaks, like halibut (another very large fish). If you are not willing to cut it into 24 smaller, serving-size pieces, you might try putting it in a turkey roaster and baking it until the interior flesh flakes easily.

    Yes, you can, provided you cut it and clean it properly. But keep in mind it will probably take a little more or less time to fry properly.

    Use it in a Moqueca a La Brasileira, a typical dish. A stew with spices, vegetables, tomatoes and olive oil, it has a wonderful smell and can be accompanied with cooked white rice. A delight for weekends with friends and family.

    Lay the orange slices on the hot side of the grill to create two platforms for the fillets. Lay the seasoned catfish fillets on the orange slices and cover the grill. Allow the fish to cook just until it flakes easily with a fork, approximately 15 minutes.
