Fleur de Lolly: Fried doesn't have to be default for catfish

Catfish can sometimes have a negative reputation. Wild-caught catfish feed off the bottom of lakes, streams and rivers, which can result in a muddy flavor. However, farm-raised catfish are fed a particular food that floats on the surface of the water, and as a result the fish has a fresher, cleaner taste.

Although fried catfish seemingly reigns supreme in restaurants and barbecue joints, baked catfish can pack a great deal of flavor and is healthier overall. Instead of the usual tartar or cocktail sauce, try the recipe for the dipping sauce that I've included. Don't let the word "aioli" scare you. It's a fancy term for garlic-flavored mayonnaise. By the time the fish bakes for about 20 minutes, you can have the aioli mixed and ready to serve.
