Add the tomatoes and scallions and remove from the heat immediatelyStuffing Mix Instructions1. Mix everything togetherCatfish Instructions1. Wash the cavity of the catfish and skin2. Slice the catfish to the bone but not through the bone, the slices should be one inch apart and at a 45 degree angle to the bone on each side of the catfish3. Open the cuts and insert the stuffing mixture down to the back bone4. Wrap the catfish with food wrap and store in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours5. In a large fryer or Dutch oven add 2 inches of frying oil.

6.

Begin heating the oil to 350 degrees F.

7.

In two baking pans, with high sides, add the flour to one and the milk to the other8. Lightly flour the fish then rub enough milk into the flour to make the fish sticky9. Flour the fish a second time (it should have good breading after this application)10. Curl the fish and slowly lower into the hot oil cooking one at a time11. It takes about 5 minutes per fish to crisp the crust (the fish is not done at this point)12. When ready to serve, place the catfish in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes13. Inspect one of the deeper cuts for doneness (it must be opaque to the bone)14. Place the fish on a plate with the dorsal up15. Pour enough sauce over the fish to cover the bottom of the plate.

Garnish with sprigs of cilantro
