- 1/8th tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1 ½ pounds catfish filets, cut in 1 inch pieces
- 3 to 5 slices chopped bacon
- 1 cup chopped onion
- ½ cup chopped green bell pepper
- 1 28-ounce can tomatoes.
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tbs. Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. black pepper
- ½ tsp. thyme
Wash catfish filets and cut in 1 inch pieces. Set aside. Fry bacon in a large heavy pan for 2 to 3 minutes. Add onion and bell pepper. Cook until tender. (Do not add the Cayenne Pepper until you add the fish. If it cooks the entire time, it may be too spicy and hot.) Add remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Add the fish and cayenne pepper and cook for another 20 minutes. Add water if needed. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve hot with crackers or cornbread.
