Creole Catfish Stew

Chilled white wine A glass for the chef Creole seasonings A meal in a dish A Southern delight Chunks of catfish fillets Corn and lima beans Simmering till sublime Gather around If spicy stew's what you want Help yourself Cayenne pepper Tabasco sauce There’s even a bit of wine left AP: 3rd place 2020 Submitted on October 7, 2018 for contest OCTOBER NO.2 2018 sponsored by BRIAN STRAND and May 13, 2018 for contest CATFISH sponsored by CATIE LINDSEY

It's not a dish for me, but you sure dished up the description wonderfully!

Lol been in deep south Louisiana my whole life and I've never heard of that. But it sounds awesome!

Lolol no. With the way this year has been going thus far I probably wouldn't have any wine leftover!

LOL that's hilarious, FJ. I've never been there so how have I heard of it? Too funny. I'm assuming you're not talking about leftover wine.

It was the stew.

Thanks, Caren. Was it the wine or the stew?

As a Southerner I've never had catfish stew and don't like crawfish, but give me crab and shrimp with Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning and I'm satisfied. Not too much tobacco sauce, and don't forget the wine. A fun write, Line.

Ugly looking things, that said I bet they taste delicious. Washed down with wine of course. Good luck Line. Tom.
