Made with Coconut flour, instead of cornflour. I won’t lie, it tastes better with cornflour, but you get the same crispiness and sweetness with coconut flour.
Catfish is low in calories and fat, but has lots of proteins. It is also low in mercury and high in Omega-3. It is delicious and it was one of my favourite dishes 20 years ago. I say that because, now I prefer the rainbow trout!
It can be served with cauliflower mash, or roasted cauliflower, or roasted broccoli, or even roasted celeriac wedges.
