CATFISH LOAF


It's just a plain good, humongous po boy really. Casamentos on Magazine calls all it's sandwiches "loaves"

1 big loaf of french or italian bread or two normal sized loaves, a 2-lb loaf is perfect
2 lbs. of catfish fillets (guess what, nuggets are perfect for this)
Cornmeal
1 tsp Tabasco sauce
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 Tbsps Worcestershire sauce
2 cups catsup
Butter
1 Bermuda onion
6 small, sour pickles
1 small jar olives

Visit your favorite seafood store or deli and purchase 2 lbs. of catfish fillets. Cut the fillets into small pieces, about 1 1/2 inch cubes. Roll in cornmeal and fry in deep fat until brown. When cooked, drain on paper towels and keep in a warm place.
Combine Tabasco sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and catsup.

Cut the bread in half lengthwise. And pull out the soft part of the bread, leaving only the crust. Use the excavated bread for whatever. Butter the bread on the inside-both top and bottom. Toast, cut side up in a 350 degree oven. Coat inside of toasted loaf and inside of top crust with the sauce mixture.

Slice the Bermuda onion and small, sour pickles. Open the jar of olives. Layer the bottom of the loaf with fish, onion, sauce, pickles, and olives. Repeat layers until everything is used. Replace the top crust.

Wrap in parchment paper or aluminum foil and bake at 300 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove from paper and serve hot.
