• Arrange a portable heat source outdoors, such as a butane burner or side burner of a gas grill. Melt butter in a glass or metal bowl. Light the burner, and place a large cast-iron skillet onto the burner over high heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of melted butter into the skillet; set remaining 1/2 cup of butter aside.
• When the butter in the skillet is smoking hot, lay the catfish fillets into the skillet. Cook until the spices are burned onto the fillets and the catfish is opaque and flaky inside, about 3 minutes per side. Don't breathe smoke from burning spices. To serve, pour remaining 1/2 cup of butter over the catfish.

• NOTE: I do not have given the amount of breadcrumbs needed. Sometimes I need more, sometimes less. But coat the nuggets only with a thin layer of breadcrumbs. You can replace the breadcrumbs by ground almonds. This will add a nutty flavor to the nuggets.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium size skillet on medium until hot. Add mixed vegetables including broccoli (if added) and slowly stir until lightly brown in color. Do not over stir. Set aside.
• Next put hot sauce, black pepper and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Place diced catfish nuggets in and let it sit for ten minutes. Spread Cajun mix on a large plate and pat batter on both sides of this mixture. Heat remaining bottle of oil in medium size skillet and fry fish nuggets. Turn fish over after it lightly brown on first side then repeat on second side. Remove and place on plate with a piece of paper towel on it to remove excess oil.
• Place stir fried vegetables on the plate and then top it with the Cajun catfish nuggets. Serves approximately four to six people.
