How to Make Alabama Catfish Stew

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 cup chopped celery, 1 cup chopped green bell pepper, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 bay leaf, and 4 cups of fish stock to the saucepan.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Gently stir in 1 pound catfish fillets, cut into 1-inch pieces.
  5. Continue to simmer for 20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
