STUFFED BAKED CATFISH
The story behind this recipe goes like this:
One Saturday afternoon, we received a call from some old friends from Up North, who announced they were dropping in on us that night and were really hungry for Cajun seafood. A quick forage through our kitchen produced some catfish fillets and some crawfish tails. My thought was that the more fattening a dish is, the better I like it. So, we combined all the ingredients and came up with Stuffed Catfish Fillets... leave it to a Cajun to turn an otherwise low calorie dish into a meal that will get you offers to be the Weight Watchers poster child!
Our friends departed two pounds heavier but wouldn't leave until we gave them the recipe! Ed Roy (From the Tell me More Cookbook)
2 pounds catfish fillets
1 pound crawfish
1 stick butter
1 cup chopped green onions
