There are many types of fish that we eat in Colombia that I haven’t found in the United States. Catfish, however, is very popular in both countries, so I am able to make some traditional Colombian catfish recipes.
We make catfish it in many different ways. In addition to breaded, we sometimes fry a whole catfish or grill it using various types of sauces. Fish in Colombia is usually served with fried green plantains or yuca on the side. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
Ingredients
(4 Servings)
4 catfish fillets skins and bones removed, rinsed and patted dry
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon garlic powdered
Salt and pepper
2 eggs
1 cup all purpose flour
½ cup bread crumbs
Directions
- Mix the flour, paprika, garlic powder and cumin in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. In a third dish add the bread crumbs.
- Season the catfish with salt and pepper. Coat the fish fillets with the flour, dip in the eggs and dredge in the crumbs.
- Drop carefully in the hot oil. Fry for 4 minutes until crisp. Remove to a paper towel lined sheet tray. Season with salt and pepper.

Catfish is very popular here in Tallahassee. This would be a simple and easy dish to prepare. As always, great blog post!

Will have to try this, but since I am not a catfish fan, I will probably try it with tilapia. Hope it still tastes as good 😉

I made this breaded fish tonight and it came out so yummy, another winner! I’m slowly cooking my way through your website and loving it. Everything I’ve tried has been a joy to cook. I appreciate how simply your recipes are written and use simple ingredients that even a novice cook like me can impress her Colombian bf. 🙂 He might take me to your hometown Medellin for vacation this year. I can’t wait, will be my first time in South America.
