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!

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.
