Cooking Whole Catfish in the Oven

Cooking Whole Catfish in the Oven

Whole catfish: score, season, stuff with lemon/herbs/garlic, bake at 200°C for 30-45 min. Done when flesh near backbone flakes and turns opaque.

Method for oven-roasting a whole catfish: 1. Clean the fish thoroughly 2. Score the flesh with diagonal cuts on both sides (allows heat penetration and seasoning absorption) 3. Season inside and outside 4. Stuff the cavity with lemon slices, fresh herbs, and garlic 5. Brush the exterior with oil 6. Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 30-45 minutes depending on size Doneness test: The flesh near the backbone should flake easily and appear opaque (not translucent). Check at the thickest part near the spine, as this is the last area to cook through.
