Since following the metabolic typing diet, I’m eating more protein, but I’m not eating light meat poultry or fish. Catfish is a darker fish.
Recently I baked catfish, but I wanted to bread it to keep it moist inside. I didn’t want to use traditional breading because of the carbs. Instead I used coconut flour, and it turned out great. My husband particularly enjoyed it.

A great idea to use coconut flour on fish! Although I do not eat catfish because they are “scavenger” fish which is the reason God instructed the Jewish people to not eat catfish and other scavengers of the sea – the ones without fins. I did eat catfish years ago before I read what I read about it, and it tastes good, but everyone has their own list of what they will not eat. I will definitely try the recipe with another white fish tho – sounds great!
This looks like something my husband will like. He’s Southern and loves his catfish.
I love the idea of coconut flour on catfish, Linda! Will try soon.
