The Black-Eyed Pea Cakes were like nothing I've ever tasted and they were soooo easy! We have decided that they will be our contribution to the next family gathering. It occurred to me that, if I drop them by spoonfuls into the oil, they would make a delicious bite-sized treat for a big group of people. My husband made the catfish and it was delicious as well (although, I admit, I'm still partial to good ol' catfish nuggets in grits. Also, the coleslaw that was featured with this dinner was SPECTACULAR!!! I cannot wait to make it again as well. (I think I might put some green apple in it!

Thank you so much, Paula Deen. You're home cooking is great for our home, too!

Love,

Dawn

Paula, I was inspired by your show and knew I could reproduce your recipies without a problem. I changed the fish to chicken and used panko for coating....and I had three well seasoned cooks in my household come to me with rave reviews....
Thank you for giving me such inspiration and satisfying my family...beyond my expectations...
I love you...you make me smile and laugh...you remind me of me...lol
Very Very sincerely,
Cheryl McQuiston

Looks very tastey. Nice color, the texture looks great and seems as if you could taste it just by looking at it

I used probably about 1/4 cup of mustard for my 1 pound of catfish fillets. They turned out great. The Black-Eyed Pea Cakes were wonderful and I added some finely chopped onion to them for a little more flavor. Recommend the recipe

I made just the pea cakes but with a little tweaking. Instead of peppers I used diced white onions and also put a little of the grease from the cooked bacon into the mixture. Very Good.

As for the fish too much mustard. I even tried scraping some off before cooking and was still too much. i also don't see the point in deep frying this. All the flour came off. Might as well just baked it then it would have been healthier.
I did like the black-eyed pea cakes. Was a nice change from just cooking them the regular way.

There was way too much thyme in this! Half would have been more than enough. Also I would have liked some tips on how to know when it is done etc., as I rarely fry fish.

My only word of caution is that if you have acrylic nails....please use gloves as not to stain your nails.. other than that you will surely not be disappointed with the fish or the pea cakes.

I didn't want to deep-fry the fish, but shallow pan-frying worked just fine. If the fillets are thick, finishing them in the oven might be a good idea, too. I also skipped the thyme and opted for seasoning the flour with cayenne and garlic powder. Also spread only a thin layer of mustard over both sides of each fillet. Delicious.

Husband loved the catfish. There were mixed reviews from the rest of the family, I wasn't that impressed. I didn't have time to make the Black Eyed Pea Cakes, but I will try them next time.
