  1. This was soooo good. I made it and shared with co-workers, they really enjoyed it. One made it for her husband and he enjoyed it also. Made exactly as written.
     
  2. Very, Very good. I also added shrimp, oysters, mussels and clams. Spices were right on the mark.
     
  3. This was absolutely delicious. I had only had catfish fried before so was quite suprized at how good it was in a stew. The cooking times were right on target too. The fish cooked to perfection, just enough to flake without falling apart. I made two minor substitues for convience sake. The supermarket did not have fresh turnips in stock, but they did have frozen diced turnips. So I substituted 1 cup frozen diced for the 1 fresh turnip diced. I was in a bit of a lazy mood so instead of buying a fresh cabbage and chopping it myself I boght a package of cabbage already chopped for coleslaw. The carrot in it was so minimal it didn't change the flavor at all. This recipe is definately a keeper and I will be making it again.
