catfish stew

Muddy fish soup

Catfish stew is a Southern American dish of catfish simmered with vegetables—typically tomatoes, onions, and potatoes—in a seasoned broth.

It's comfort food with regional variations: some versions are tomato-based, others cream-based.

We made catfish stew from the fish we caught that morning.
