Making beer-battered catfish is a great way to avoid yet another cornmeal coated catfish fillet. Don’t get me wrong, cornmeal-crusted fried catfish is great and it’s what I grew up on, but after decades of eating it I need to change it up from time to time. Beer battered catfish is extremely easy to make, […]

Dutch Oven Catfish Creole
Catfish Creole is an excellent alternative to fried catfish, and far better in my opinion.

Traditional Coleslaw Recipe
Traditional coleslaw is a classic side for camping and especially for fried catfish. I remember coleslaw being served with almost everything growing up. It was one of those things that was easy to make, cheap, and it held up in the refrigerator for a long time. I grew to hate it when I was a […]
Camp Stove Red-Braised Pork Belly
Red braised pork belly may not be one of the best known Chinese food dishes in the West, but it is hands down the best. At least it is as far as I’m concerned. The salty, sweet, gingery, and caramel flavors coupled with the decadent pieces of bite-sized pork belly is enough to reduce everybody […]
