Cooking Catfish Outdoors with Aluminum Foil
1 Start your campfire so it can get warmed up. The coals should be red hot
with little to no fire.
2 Clean your fish before you begin to cook it. Slit the stomach open to remove any guts. Wash off the fish with fresh water. A catfish doesn't have scales, so you won't have to scale it. Skin it if you like, but that's not necessary. Cutting off the head is also optional. If you plan on cooking it right away, place the fish in aluminum foil and wrap it up. If you have any seasonings you'd like to add, now is the time to do it. If you don't plan on cooking the fish right away, place the cleaned fish in a vessel of cool water until ready to cook.
3 Spread you hot coals out, once they're ready. It will be the heat from the
coals that cook the fish, not the fire itself.
4 Lay your aluminum foil package of fish onto the hot coals. Make sure to turn the foil package frequently as the fish can easily burn. Use a stick when turning it, so you don't get burned.
5 Remove the foil from the coals after approximately 10 minutes and check on the fish. Carefully open up the foil. The meat should be firm and flake easily when the fish is done. Now you're ready to eat and enjoy.
