Fillet Of Catfish Bayou Lafourche

Understanding that the word is “submit” (to place oneself under) and not “obey” (cf. Eph. 6:1), helps us to understand that the woman’s objective is simply intended to complement her husband’s leadership. Rather than a two-headed monstrosity leading the family, she is there to support his God-designated role while fully functioning as his equal partner and “fellow heir of the grace of life” (1 Pet. 3:7). This means the wife should be free to share opinions, provide insight and even respectfully disagree. But when it is all said and done, she is willing to come alongside her husband’s spiritual plan for the family as God is holding the man accountable.

INSTRUCTIONS

Thaw frozen fish according to package directions. 2. Season catfish
with salt and cayenne; dust with flour, shaking off excess. 3. Heat
clarified butter in large heavy skillet. 4. Place fillets in skillet,
flat side up; saute over medium heat until brown. 5. Turn fillets and
continue to saute until brown, then remove to heated plates. 6.
Deglaze skillet with champagne or wine; add oysters, oyster liquor,
lemon juice, shallots, fresh or dried tarragon, and green onions. 7.
Cook until oysters begin to curl, then remove and place 3 on each
fillet. 8. Reduce liquid in skillet until a glaze forms, then add  cold
butter, a few chips at a time, swirling pan constantly (do not  stir,
as spots will develop and butter solids and liquids will  separate). 9.
Continue adding butter; butter will emulsify, creating  a smooth creamy
sauce. Add chives, adjust seasoning with salt and  cayenne, and pour
over oysters. NOTE: Served a famous Lafitte's  Landing retaurant in
