2 lbs skinned catfish fillets
Court bouillon
1/2 cup white wine
2 stalks celery
1/2 onion
1 carrot
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 cups water
Catfish cake mixture
1/2 red pepper
1/2 onion
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil

1
Chop the vegetables for the bouillon.
2
Add water, wine and vegetables in a sauce pan.
3
Bring to a simmer and add the fish, simmering until fish is cooked.
4
Drain the fish well and let it cool (retain the boullion - it's a good stock for fish chowders).
5
Finely chop the pepper and the onion.
6
Add the chopped vegetables, beaten eggs and mayonnaise and seasonings to the fish and chill this mixture.
7
Form about 8 cakes from the fish mixture and coat it lightly in your favorite fish coating - we like a Cajun flavored mix.
