I’m just here to upvote the correct spelling

And btw I’ve used Emril’s redfish courtbouillon before and it was great LINK

It's a really simple recipe that comes out great.

Use catfish steaks if you can find them.

Chop a couple large white onions and two large bunches of italian parsley and combine/mix.



A little olive oil on bottom of a cast iron or enameled cast iron pot. Spread a ladle full of tomato sauce (grandparents always used Contadina, I use Cento) on the bottom of the pot. Layer the steaks in a circle around the pot. Top with onion/parsley mix and a ladle of sauce. Sprinkle a teaspoon of corn starch on top. Repeat process until you have filled up the pot. Just keep placing on top of each other until you are done. Add one cup of water, fish will render more than you need. Turn on medium/low heat and let it cook for fifteen minutes. DO NOT STIR !!!!! Twist pot from side to side by handles to mix. After about 35-40 minutes you have a masterpiece. Serve with Jasmine rice, hot sauce, and fresh cut green onion FTW !

Between catfish or redfish, I always opt for redfish.

I find it just tastes better to me if made with reds. The last time I made it with catfish, it came out with a very strong fish taste that overpowered the sauce it was made in.

If anything I would have guessed the opposite.

For a courtbouillon I agree. But I’ve had more “fishy” redfish than catfish. i.e. when someone does remove the bloodline.
