FLORIDA CATFISH STEW

Steps:

• In a large pot (8-quart capacity) heat 1/4 cup of the oil. Saute onions, celery, and carrots for about 5 minutes until onions become translucent and celery and carrots begin to soften. Add broth and bring to a simmer. Add fish, oysters, Cajun seasoning, tomatoes, bay leaves, and salt and pepper, and cook until fish becomes opaque. In a separate bowl, mix the other 1/2 cup of oil with the flour, and stir this mixture gently into the stew to thicken. Cook for a few minutes more to integrate flavors.

• Bring fatback drippings to a medium heat, add onions and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally; remove onions to a bowl.
• Put about 4 or 5 cups of water in the pot, bring to a boil, put the potatoes in the pot.
• You might have to add more fresh water to barely cover the potatoes.
• Cook about 15 or 20 minutes;I crumble up the fried fatback and put it in with the potatoes, but you don't have to.
• Put the onions back in the pot with the potatoes and bring to almost a boil, throw in a handful of fish, stir a little, throw in some more fish, stir a little more, do this until you use all the fish.
• I use a long skinny spoon so the fish won't get all mashed up; I like chunks of fish in the stew.
• Add the boiled eggs and stir.
• Cook on medium for about 6 minutes.
• Stir a couple of times to be sure the potatoes aren't sticking to the bottom of the pot.
• Taste.
• Add more salt, pepper, and hot sauce if needed.
• Enjoy!
