The Pew Leadership Year offers hands-on experience in public policy advocacy, research and communications to individuals who are dedicated to building a leadership career in the public or nonprofit sectors and have recently completed an undergraduate or advanced degree. The first Pew Leadership Year will begin in September 2010 and conclude in August 2011.
These year-long, paid positions (salary $40,000) – all based in our Washington, DC, office – will provide 22 exceptionally talented graduates the chance to work alongside Pew professionals, gaining valuable skills while making important contributions to our work. Pew Leadership Fellows will learn and hone essential skills that will help them thrive not only during their tenure at Pew, but in any chosen career.
Participants will work with a diverse group of Pew staff in specific departments. Through observation and involvement, each fellow will have the opportunity to work on critical issues, which may include: global conservation; U.S. land conservation; marine environmental advocacy; global warming and energy policy; federal banking regulations; financial reform; state fiscal issues; election initiatives; public safety; the healthy development of young children; and early childhood education.
Each program participant will focus on one discipline – advocacy/policy, research or communications – within one department – Pew Center on the States, Pew Economic Policy Group, Pew Environment Group or Pew Health Group. While immersed in one area, participants will have ample exposure to other program areas and attend professional and leadership development seminars.
• Conduct original research and writing projects.
• Collect, compile and analyze data.
• Provide financial assistance to advocates and other leaders to educate policy makers and the public about the benefits of various programs.
• Become immersed in the research, planning, strategy formulation and execution of a multi-state advocacy campaign.

• Assist in efforts to educate policy makers, coordinate work with coalition partners and create fact sheets and other materials.
• Help create effective online presentations that promote various issues and campaigns.
• Track legislation and relevant press coverage and research public officials' records and statements.
• Support a broad range of advocacy activities.
The Pew Leadership Year is open to individuals graduating with a bachelor or advanced degree from December 2009 through August 2010.

After facing a workforce shortage for months, Iowa awarded an emergency $2.3 million COVID-19 contact-tracing contract to a company that has worked for the campaigns of President Donald Trump and Gov. Kim Reynolds and is owned by a Republican insider.
The Iowa Department of Public Health selected Iowa City-based MCI out of 14 applicants, saying it submitted the best proposal and that political considerations did not play a role in the deal.
The company is expected to supply 200 contact tracers to supplement the hundreds of public health workers who have failed to keep up with Iowa's fast-growing virus caseload. The first 60 graduated training and were beginning state work Friday.
MCI had pitched its services to Iowa officials since the beginning of the pandemic and says it does contact tracing and management in six other states, including Alabama and Louisiana.
MCI is owned by GOP donor Anthony Marlowe, who has boasted that it played a key role in Trump's 2016 victory and was among the state's top backers of Trump's unsuccessful reelection.
The contract, awarded after an expedited two-day bidding process, lasts only through January and will pay the company $36,400 daily, according to a copy released Friday.
Marlowe was an Iowa delegate to the Republican National Convention in August who spoke during the roll call vote as the state supported Trump's renomination. He said his company had grown from 400 employees in 2016 to 4,000 "thanks to your explosive economic policies."
MCI subsidiary Mass Markets has been paid $1 million by Trump's campaign for telemarketing and data services since 2016, campaign finance records show.
Marlowe said in 2016 the company made 80 million calls to help Trump get out the vote, raise money and draw crowds to events. This cycle, MCI provided software and telephony services to the campaign.
The Republican governor's campaign paid MCI more than $18,000 for services between 2017 and 2019 to promote rally turnout, and Marlowe's firm recently has done work for the Republican Party of Iowa.
Marlowe has become a major donor, giving more than $175,000 to Republican Party groups and candidates since 2017, including to Trump, Reynolds and the state party, records show. His wife, Julia, began working at the White House earlier this year, although the couple has since announced their divorce.
Iowa awarded the contract using federal coronavirus relief funds that must be used by Dec. 31, after contact-tracing workers had been unable to keep pace with new cases. Last month, Scott County, the state's third-largest county, abandoned contact tracing efforts amid the exponential growth.
Democratic state Sen. Joe Bolkcom of Iowa City, ranking member of the appropriations committee, called the bidding process for the contact tracing contract "terrible" because vendors had only 36 hours to apply.
"We knew for weeks and weeks we weren't keeping up with contact tracing. Suddenly we have this emergency and a competitive process that's meaningless," he said. "Now we have hired this company that has these close ties to the governor. This just reeks of inside dealing."
He noted the state's no-bid contracts for a $26 million testing program and $21 million payroll system using coronavirus relief funds also face allegations of favoritism.
Independent experts had long recommended Iowa hire hundreds or thousands more people to identify, contact and isolate those exposed to infected people to slow the spread of the virus.
Facing a surge that was threatening to overwhelm hospitals, the state Public Health Department announced Nov. 16 that it was seeking a contact tracing vendor. Citing the urgency, the department said proposals would be due the next day at midnight.
Fourteen companies submitted bids. Marlowe said he wanted MCI, whose proposal was dated Nov. 16, to be the first to apply to demonstrate its nimbleness.
"Simply put, we move quickly and get things done," he said.
Proposals had to be 10 pages. MCI's 12-page proposal had one page of references and one page of graphics, which the department considered a "minor deficiency" but not disqualifying, agency spokeswoman Sarah Ekstrand said.
MCI was the top-scoring applicant out of six that met the minimum score, she said.
Reynolds spokesman Pat Garrett said the governor's office played no role in the request for proposals or contract selection. Marlowe said that he had not discussed the contract with Reynolds and that he doubted she was aware MCI had worked on her campaign.
He released emails showing another MCI official had solicited state officials in March and state epidemiologist Dr. Caitlin Pedati in May to promote its services.
MCI's proposal said it would charge $240,000 per week to provide 200 full-time tracers.

The bus trips no longer are tension-filled, ripe with the balancing act of doing homework and preparing for a game. Players now can be carefree and interact.
Those same trips no longer require going to Houston and Austin. They now involve navigating Loop 1604 and Interstate 10 and are easier for the team's supporters to make.
For four decades, Saint Mary's Hall competed in the Southwest Prep Conference. This year, the Barons are in TAPPS. The move brought a new league. The results are virtually the same.
Saint Mary's Hall is still finding success on the soccer field. The team is only one win from advancing to the TAPPS Division II state tournament. The Barons (14-6-3) play Houston Emery/Weiner in a regional final at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in Yoakum. The school's boys team takes on Houston Lutheran South at 6:30 p.m.
The Barons were 489-322-96 under coach Brian Kaestner during the previous 35 seasons, winning SPC Division I state titles in 1989 and '90 and Division II crowns in '83, 2008 and 2009.
Saint Mary's Hall senior Madeleine Espy talks about move from Southwest Prep Conference to TAPPS.
But the long bus trips, missed class time and competing against opponents with larger talent bases to draw from were big obstacles.
Saint Mary's Hall captured the TAPPS 4-II title this season, winning a league that included S.A. Christian and TMI. S.A. Christian advanced to the state final in 2015 and 2016, winning it all in the former, while TMI was a state semifinalist in 2015.
Espy, who leads the team with 24 goals and 22 assists and signed with Division III Centre College in Kentucky, welcomed the move from SPC to TAPPS. She likes the style of play in TAPPS, how it's less physical and more about speed and skill. Espy also likes TAPPS' single-elimination postseason format. In SPC, a team could lose its opening match at the three-day state tournament and still recover and play for fifth.


At sunrise the last enemy fell. Not one had fled the field. For half a mile around the wall their bodies lay, their weapons of iron fallen from their hands and their armour of black furs and leather torn and pierced. Their banners of red had been felled and their long horns silenced.
Also upon the field were the bodies of countless defenders. Their silver arrows were spent. Their white hair and pale skin was stained with blood. Their slim swords were broken.
Within the carnage of battle, Glandorfin still stood. Its halls were all but empty now and the few who walked them walked in silence. The ancient trees around which the city had been built still lived. And - the only thing which truly mattered - in the highest room of the central tower the throne remained. Upon its narrow seat of polished wood sat the king, Tarnel the mighty. Grief weighed heavily upon him that day, mourning for his lost kingdom and for his people and their terrible sacrifice.
Into that chamber came Cingon the artificer and he bowed low. He gave to the king a scroll, upon which the future of the world had been inked, that the secrets and treasures of Glandorfin might be preserved. The king read it and saw that it was wise. He placed the royal seal upon it.
Glandorfin, the green city, is thought to be the oldest surviving tale from the Mythic Epoch. It was seemingly a real place, or at least was real enough to have influenced subsequent history. The peoples who lived there were not images, although exactly who they were has not survived.
As well as being a physical place, Glandorfin also symbolises beginning. It is, in some sense, the start of all things. Although no known secrets or artefacts can trace their ancestry to Glandorfin itself, many spiritual and sorcerous philosophies claim roots which trace back to Glandorfin's legacy.
Whether any part of the ruins of Glandorfin still exists is doubtful, but it is quite possible to see the place in visions and dreams. Moreover, for an image sorceror or a wielder of some other secret for which symbology is important, this could be a very valuable experience.
For some artefact to have survived somehow is more likely. Such a thing would be priceless, but not necessarily enormously powerful (although a few of the treasures there were). If such a thing were found it might make use of secrets otherwise lost to the world and could be of great value to a scholar of such matters.

San Francisco Jazz Collective takes Aycock Stage Oct. 29
October 26, 2010 by Michael D Harris
All-star jazz ensemble San Francisco Jazz Collective will perform in Aycock Auditorium Friday, Oct. 29.
The 8 p.m. performance is the second in the University Concert Lecture Series.. Tickets to the event are $25-30 and may be purchased at boxoffice.uncg.edu, 4-4849 or campus box office locations. Discounts are available for seniors, students, UNCG employees and large groups.
The Collective, established in 2004, has a repertoire that both highlights the masters of jazz and introduces audiences to new pieces written by group members. Their 2010 season explores the work of composer and pianist Horace Silver, co-founder of the Jazz Messengers and noted leader on several Blue Note recording sessions. Silver is the composer of "Song For My Father," "Sister Sadie," "Doodlin'" and "Señor Blues." The original works composed by Collective members for this year's tour are influenced by Silver's stylings.
The Collective is made up of eight highly acclaimed jazz performers and composers. The award-winning roster includes veteran alto saxophonist Miguel Zenón, tenor saxophonist Mark Turner, vibraphonist Stefon Harris, pianist Edward Simon, bassist Matt Penman and drummer Eric Harland. Also performing will be trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire and trombonist Luis Bonilla filling in for current members Avishai Cohen and Robin Eubanks, respectively.
The publication JazzTimes called the group "an egalitarian wonder, equally concerned with where the music has been and where it's going. … Every track is a discovery and you will not find a weak link in the ensemble."

Global Conflict and Peace Processes
Degree Navigation
What You'll Study
Related Degrees
The Global Conflict and Peace programme is of particular interest and use to students and practitioners who want to understand the dynamics underlying contemporary forms of intrastate conflict and the various processes required to generate sustainable peace in places that have undergone civil war and violent intercommunal conflict. For this reason, the programme is designed to make students engage with the key debates, policies and concepts connected to global conflict and peace processes.
This programme is studied on campus.
The programme will familiarise students with the theoretical and methodological insights from the fields of sociology, anthropology, political science and human rights in relation to the globalized character of contemporary intrastate conflict and to peacebuilding. Students are encouraged to engage with a range of conflicts and peace processes, themselves well known, in which these themes are explored empirically - Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Lebanon, Cyprus.
The degree works both as stand-alone programme if you wish to enhance your knowledge of this area and as an advanced level programme, providing you with the necessary foundation to pursue a PhD in the social sciences.

Advanced Social Theory (SO5014) - 30 Credit Points
Karl Popper argued, wisely, at least this time, that 'all languages are theory-impregnated'. In this course we learn to reflect explicitly about that which may otherwise simply remain implicit in empirical sociological examination. In this project, we are assisted by important thinkers who have developed distinctive and influential ways of considering the social. We begin with classical sociological theory (Marx, Weber, Nietzsche) before moving on to the work of more recent social thought (including, Actor Network Theory and Dorothy Smith), giving students an advanced working knowledge of the most important theoretical tools available to jobbing social scientists.
View detailed information about this course
Advanced Qualitative Methods in Social Science (SL5011) - 30 Credit Points
Qualitative Sociology: Philosophy and Methods: This course introduces students to a range of methods used in qualitative sociological research (such as participant observation, qualitative interviewing, focus groups, diaries, photography and film, and archived data sources). The emphasis will be on the research process, from project design to analysis and presentation, with methodological issues raised in the context of researchable questions. Issues of reliability, representativeness and validity, and the potential for combining methods will be addressed. Students use the course work to develop their research interests and reflect on their research practices.
Global Conflict and Peace Processes (SO5526) - 30 Credit Points
The course familiarises the student with the field of the sociology of peace processes, which is one of the growth areas within sociology and related areas internationally. It establishes the nature of sociology's distinctive contribution to the study of peace processes and the conceptual and empirical focus of this approach. The course places particular emphasis on three areas, religion, gender and civil society. It addresses three international peace processes in particular, Northern Ireland, South Africa and Sri Lanka, and critically assesses the contribution in each of religion, civil society and gender.
A specialist option, related to dissertation topic from the list below:
Religious Belief and Practice in the Modern World (SO5514) - 30 Credit Points
Aberdeen University has long been known for its focus on the sociology of religion and is currently the only University in Britain where one can study sociology of religion at the postgraduate level in a sociology department. This course is required for students on the MSc in Religion and Society, and essential for any other students who wish to develop a sophisticated sociological understanding of religion, including postgraduates with other primary research interests (religion having implications for many other topics), and would also benefit postgraduate students of religion coming from other disciplines.
Quantitative Sociology: Philosophy & Methods (SO5523) - 30 Credit Points
All researchers need to understand quantitative research, not only those who carry it out themselves. Everyone comes across quantitative research in literature reviews and even in the press. In this course students will acquire an understanding of the most common quantitative methods they are likely to use or come across in published sociological research. The module will encompass different types of quantitative study and address issues such as when quantitative methods are appropriate, how quantitative questions are formulated, research design, sampling (both online and offline), scale construction, reliability and validity and ethical practices in quantitative research and design.
The Comparative Study of European Societies (SO5515) - 30 Credit Points
The core course will look at Europe as a society as well as by comparing different nations and regions within it. It will look not just at the European Union, but also countries that are also in the broadest sense "European" stretching to the former Soviet Union and the former Yugoslavia. It will address key contemporary issues such as citizenship and belonging, identities in a European context, work, family and the demographic challenge as well as work‐life balance.
Dimensions of Globalization (SO5512) - 30 Credit Points
This interdisciplinary course focuses on substantive dimensions of globalization by considering recent changes occurring in the economic, political, social, and cultural realms of society. These themes are analysed by considering recent empirical studies, which seek to clarify our theoretical understanding of globalization through advanced social scientific research. The substantive themes covered include global capitalism, the global division of labour, global governance, the changing role of the nation‐state, transnational social change, and cultural homogenization and heterogenization. Interconnections between these aspects of globalization are highlighted.
Post - Conflict Justice and Peacebuilding (SO5525) - 30 Credit Points
This course is divided into three sections. The first half of the course introduces students to the central mechanisms and processes by which the international community attempts to provide justice and peace in post-conflict contexts, before presenting in a series of lectures the complications and current challenges to post-conflict and justice as both an academic field and an area of practice. The course is particularly designed to inspire students to consider the complicated nature of post-conflict issues through a number of different case studies and perspectives.
Sex, Gender, Violence: Critical Approaches (SO5519) - 30 Credit Points
This course investigates the ways people think about, understand, and respond to violence. How do we know what counts as violence or a violence act? Why does legislation against violence often seem inadequate, perhaps especially in the case of gendered and sexual violence?
Dissertation in Global Conflict and Peace Processes (SO5912)
This is a compulsory element on the MSc Global Conflict and Peace Processes programme.
We will endeavour to make all course options available; however, these may be subject to timetabling and other constraints. Please see our InfoHub pages for further information.

At Hannibal Dental Group, a beautiful smile begins with a gentle examination. We know that understanding your current dental condition is important and we are dedicated to making sure you know what's happening during each step of your care.
As a team, our family dentists offer a broad range of techniques to bring you the latest advancements in dental care and cosmetic dentistry. Call for an appointment today at (573) 221-1227 or use our online appointment request form.
At Hannibal Dental Group, you will receive a comprehensive dental cleaning and examination. Our goal is to identify small problems before they turn into big problems. Your comprehensive visit will include a gentle polishing as well as a thorough oral cleaning and oral cancer screening.
Accidents happen. And Hannibal Dental Group can handle your dental emergency immediately. If you or your child has chipped, broken, or cracked a tooth; had a tooth knocked out; or you have a toothache that you simply cannot ignore anymore, we will schedule a same-day appointment with one of our six dentists.
Our emergency dental services include fixing chipped, broken, cracked, or lost teeth; performing an emergency tooth extraction or root canal; and replacing a crown that has come loose or a filling that has fallen out.
X-rays are necessary to allow your dentist to see the condition of your teeth below the gum line. Digital X-rays are beneficial to you and your HDG dentist. With up to 90% less radiation than traditional X-rays, digital radiography uses a small sensor placed in the mouth to take and relay X-rays directly to a computer.
This process is also better for the environment. It doesn't use photo chemicals and traditional film, thus eliminating waste. We still take safety precautions and cover your body with a lead apron to minimize radiation exposure to your body. Let us know if you are pregnant or suspect that you may be pregnant prior to receiving X-rays.
Intraoral cameras are advanced cameras that let you see what we see during an exam and allow us to provide a more accurate diagnosis.
Advances in dentistry have made fillings less obvious than ever before. New and old fillings can now match your natural teeth for a beautiful smile free of silver-mercury amalgam. Tooth-colored fillings are more resilient and can last years longer than traditional metal fillings.

One of the best things about traveling around the United States is the chance to chow on a region's seafood specialty. For instance, in Maine, you'll find lobster rolls. In Massachusetts, fried clams. In Louisiana, a hearty bowl of gumbo. And in Texas you'll find fried catfish.
After barbecue, fried catfish is the dish of choice when a group of Texans gather to celebrate. Family reunions, wedding receptions, birthdays, Juneteenth and Fridays (especially during Lent if you're Catholic) are all best served with endless supplies of delectable deep-fried, cornmeal-coated catfish.
Statistics say that more than 50% of the nation's catfish consumption occurs in Texas. That's no surprise since in countless small towns across the state it's more ubiquitous than either Tex-Mex or barbecue—chance are, in most places if there is only one restaurant it's a catfish joint. That's certainly the case for my grandparents. A stone's throw up the road from their farm (which is in the no-light town of Chambersville) is the one-light town of Weston. It has a gas station, a post office and a cafe called Grady's that specializes in, you guessed it—catfish.
While for years, catfish was not consumed in polite society outside the South—Texans have long been fans of this unattractive bottom-feeding fish. You can understand people's aversion: catfish's contact with the ugly stick left it with freakish long whiskers and a slimy, scale-less skin much more suited for an eel than a fish. Because it's not pretty, it was initially a poor-man's food—a cheap meat ubiquitous in the countless streams, creeks, rivers and ponds that dot Texas' landscape. And since they're a cinch to catch, many families would send their children down to the creek to bring home dinner.
Today, however, most people buy their catfish pre-filleted at the store, and chances are it's been farmed in Mississippi. Yep, Texans get riled up about this fact, as many consider this big business the state's birthright. No matter, I'm not here to discuss aquacultural politics, I'm here to talk about the sweet, moist and delicate deliciousness that is catfish.
There are many reasons why it's popular beyond its terrific taste. Catfish is also inexpensive to buy (though not as cheap as dragging in a trot line filled with them), so even if you don't have access to a stream, you can feed large amounts of people for very little money. And while many fish get a bad rap these days due to mercury levels, you won't find catfish on those lists. The official catfish season begins in March and runs through August, which is probably why I saw a large display in the fresh-fish section at Whole Foods recently. It's been a while since I've cooked it, and even though I'm going to a catfish fry in Austin at the end of the month, I couldn't resist.
Fried catfish is a simple affair, and while there are endless variations and debates on how best to create your batter, all agree that yellow corn meal is the grain of choice. I prefer to dip my catfish in an egg and milk bath before doing my corn-meal dredge, others prefer beer or some just omit the liquid all together and just dredge. The latter is probably the most authentic method, especially when you think of cowboys and long-ago pioneers with limited rations on hand for cooking. But no matter how it's battered, I've yet to eat a fried catfish I didn't love.
Cole slaw, collard greens and potato salad are all fine accoutrements, but I don't think any fish fry is complete without hush puppies. These little balls of fried corn dough and peppers are not only addictive but also a perfect complement to the catfish. Plus, it's an excellent way to recycle the oil after frying your fillets. And while fried catfish are so flaky and juicy they don't need a sauce, I like to dip them in chipotle-lime mayonnaise. This, of course, would be considered sacrilege in certain circles, but I don't mind—it's tasty.
Since catfish has swum out of the South, it's been gussied up—either broiled with garlic and lemon, baked en papillote with seasonal vegetables or incorporated into bouillabaisse. And these are commendable (if not healthier) options. But I still find fried catfish the most satisfying way to enjoy this homely critter. And unlike the brutal drama of chicken-fried steak, cooking catfish is almost downright civilized. It doesn't make much of a mess and it's fast—you can fry enough catfish and whip up enough hush puppies to feed your friends and family in under an hour. So even if you're simply celebrating the end of the day, there's really no time that isn't right for a good ol' catfish fry—Texas' offering to this nation's list of seafood specialties.
To prepare the catfish, salt and pepper the fillets with half the salt and pepper. Put the cornmeal on a plate and stir in the remaining salt and pepper. Beat the eggs and milk together in a bowl. Dip the fillets in egg-milk mixture and then dredge in cornmeal, covering both sides.
To make the hush puppy batter, mix together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together the milk and egg and stir into the dried mixture until well combined. Add the oil, jalapeño, and onion and stir until well combined.
Line a sheet pan with paper towels. Heat up about 3-inches of oil in an iron skillet or a Dutch oven.
You'll want to cook the hush puppies first, so they won't taste fishy. To cook, working in batches, add tablespoon-sized balls of dough in hot oil, until crisp and golden brown (about 2 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon to the paper-lined sheet.
To cook the fish, place battered fish into hot oil and cook 4 minutes, turning once. Remove with a slotted spoon tot he paper-lined sheet.
To make the chipotle-lime mayonnaise, stir together the chipotle chiles, lime juice, mayonnaise, and cilantro.
Serve the catfish and hush puppies warm with the chipotle-lime mayonnaise.
i adore hush puppies and yet have not had them in years and have NEVER attempted to make them myself! thanks for the recipe. i still have to make your cornbread. every time i come to your blog i remember!
Dead on. Growing up, visits to my grandparents home in rural East Texas were always complete with a visit to the local catfish joint, which was one of the only restaurants in town.
Yum! Any chance you know a place in NYC to buy the other key side for catfish – Shiner Bock?
GOD I LOVE FRIED CATFISH!
No, you really have NO idea. Seriously.
What a fantastic post! AS ALWAYS!
my catfish story: while camping with family and family friends as a kid somewhere in upstate NY, I fished for the first time. And caught a catfish. Which my mom steamed up in a rice cooker (don't even ask me how or why she brought one, I just know that's how it was served) and everyone praised me for catching such a yummy fish. I promptly swallowed a bone.
My sister's husband swears there is no possible way I could catch a catfish considering the time and location, but it sure looked like a cat.
Still. YUMMY. Love fried fish!!!
I love catfish! I used to catch them in the river right here in Baltimore. My grandpop would gut them and fry them up, although not in cornmeal.
Linda–You wouldn't believe how fast and easy hush puppies are, if you're not afraid of a pot of hot oil, that is.
Christina–Yep, they're everywhere! I never thought about it until I left and couldn't find fried catfish on the menu.
Roughneck–Unfortunately, Shiner Bock still isn't sold here. I think the DC area is the closest it's come to NYC.
Matt–Thanks! And of course you love catfish–you're a Texan!
Yvo–I don't think there are any other fish that have whiskers, but I could be wrong. No matter, it's still a great fish tale!
Rachel–How'd you catch them? With a trot line? I have friends who grew up in the midwest or the MidAtlantic, and they grew up dredging them in plain white flour. Still tasty, though.
I love love love catfish! Up here in clam and lobstah country, some of our best BBQ joints do fried catfish, and it's always a treat. Better than a clam roll? I don't know — but catfish is awfully good….
I actually had fried catfish at lunch today. At Luby's. Seriously.
One thing some of the fancier establishments in Louisiana do with their catfish (and by fancy, I mean they don't have peanut shells on the floor) is plop a fried (or grilled) fillet onto a bed of white rice, then cover it with crawfish etouffee. It's a bit much, but hell, you should try it at least once.
Although I do not eat fish I love to cook it for family and friends. Another way to fry it is with crushed tortilla chips, marinated in spicy buttermilk and served with poblano tartar sauce. As always Lisa, great post.
For the liquid of choice, half dark beer and half buttermilk.. And I usually add a bit of flour to the cornmeal.
I'm in Texas and we had catfish from a cafe just the other night. Well, at least I felt we had until I read your post. I plan to attempt to recreate what you've so gloriously displayed! I think I'd forgotten what catfish and pups done right are supposed to look like. Love your blog!
I was surprised that you described the taste of catfish as "delicate." Okay, our family is not from Texas, so maybe we're cooking it wrong? My mom has started cooking it because they carry it at Costco, and it tastes kind of strong and, well, dirty. She's not doing it in any kind of batter. Does that make a difference? She cooks it in a pan with a little olive oil and lemon-pepper. And kind of steams it with the lid on. Would the difference in cooking method account for the difference in taste.
I live in San Antonio and I love reading this blog. If you are ever in the area stop by Clear Springs Cafe they have some of the best in this area. Roughneck I will drink a cold shiner for you!
While I am a vegetarian, I found your post so much fun to eat and the pictures look beautiful too !
Lydia–I always find it interesting when bbq joints also serve catfish. Not a bad combination!
Jaye Joseph–What a coincidence! I bet it was delicious!
Ken–Since I have your mom's recipe for etouffee, I'll definitely have to try that.
Chicken Fried Gourmet–Oh yum! What a great idea using crushed tortilla chips! Love the idea of poblano tartar sauce as well!
Jerry–I've never used beer with buttermilk, but I bet it has a nice tang to it.
Kevin–Thanks! I'm actually heading that way at the end of the month so I'll have check out Clear Springs Cafe.
Janelle–Thanks! Good luck with the recipes!
MomLady–That's a good question, but I've never found that it tastes terribly strong or dirty. It's usually kind of sweet, moist and flaky, not even overtly "fishy" like some other fish such as tuna. Maybe it's the catfish they have at Costco. Is it frozen or fresh?
Nandita–Thank you! And the hush puppies are vegetarian if you don't add bacon grease.
Oooooooh, boy. I tell you what. ;o) I saw this yesterday and I IMMEDIATELY went to the grocery store after work and picked up catfish fillets. I wish now in hindsight I'd taken pictures of the process! I used buttermilk instead of plain milk, and made my family's recipe for cornbread instead of hush puppies (never was a big fan of the "spherical" hush puppies). Boy howdy, was it a good fish fry! I used a combination of grapeseed oil, olive oil, and canola, and added a little Emeril's Essence to the cornmeal. Served it with pecan rice and sweet iced tea, and the guy I'm seeing LOVED it (he did most of the frying). Thanks for this! I'll definitely be making it again!
Those are some seriously drool inducing pictures!
Another stop in San Antonio for catfish, Gradys BBQ, San Pedro location (inside 410). Friday nights between 6 & 8, they have a 3 piece country band playing the classics.
Great timing on this, my girlfriend and I were thinking about doing a catfish fry for our friends for the end of spring break.
Since I'm an Arizonan born and raised, I've had very little opportunity to cook fish, this will be a great guide!
Anyone have any recommendations for places to get catfish in Tucson?
I love fried Catfish. I have family in Houston and whenever I visit we just always have to head out to our fave catfish joint.
But I really thank you for this recipe because it's something I have been craving for a long time and now I'm gonna give it a try. I just have to find catfish in Germany LOL!
TexanNewYorker–Very cool! And I'm glad your guy loved it as well!
Leo–Thanks for the tip, that place sounds fun. I just love live music!
Josh–I've never been to Tucson, so I don't know of any catfish joints, but it's easy to do at home.
Meeta–You're welcome! And good luck finding catfish in Germany. I reckon in a pinch you could substitute another white, flaky fish, but it wouldn't taste the same.
Only had catfish and hush puppies once, eating at, believe it or not, a Cracker Barrel whilst Paul and I were travelling the Southern States on my first trip to the US. The fish was slightly over cooked but I still loved it!
After years of being force fed frozen, breaded ocean perch [as ghastly as that sounds] as a child, I had fresh fried catfish when we visited relatives in southern Mississippi. Suddenly I understood that fish could be wonderful.
There is a season for catfish? I have always heard oysters in a month with an 'R', catfish in any month with an 'A'.
You did a southern girl proud!
Ah, Texas is a place full of incredible food. I have to admit that until this post I always thought Louisiana when I thought catfish, but you've done a lot to change my mind. By the way, chipotle-lime mayo sounds good on the phone book, let alone fried catfish.
That's some good-looking catfish–especially with that nice cornmeal batter. And what's not to love about hush puppies?
I think you're trying to seduce me, aren't you?
this makes me miss my grandma something bad.
Freya–I'm not surprised at all you had it a Cracker Barrel. Do they not have hush puppies in England or does everyone just eat chips with their fish?
Terry–Isn't it wonderful how one bite can transform your views? Great story!
Rob–Chipotle-lime mayo is fantastic on phone books as well as old shoes! But seriously, Louisiana also has a fine catfish tradtion. They probably eat it the most after us.
Sarah–Indeed! Hush puppies, like the creatures they're named after, are so lovable!
Garrett–Why, yes! How did you ever guess?
Dawn–You should fry up some catfish in her memory!
As much as I love seafood, I could never get into the taste and texture of catfish. Too silty for me.
I do, however, miss those big neighbourhood seafood cook-offs.
Every time I come to your blog I feel like I'm returning home. I've only tried catfish a few times but would love to have it fried. Which reminds me, I haven't been to the fish store in awhile so maybe it's time to go in search of some catfish to fry!
Okay, from MS around here! BUT I agree with you that catfish are fantastic. Grilled, fried, sauteed…yum!
I haven't had hush puppies since I lived in North Carolina years ago. Just reading the recipe has given me a hankerin' for some!
if you ever find yourself in augusta, ga, touch base with me. i'll treat you to fried catfish and the best hush puppies you've ever had at T's restaurant, a local favorite for decades.
Olivia–Yes, I reckon catfish can be an acquired taste, but half the fun in eating it is indeed the fellowship at a big ol' fish fry.
Ivonne–Welcome home! Catfish is best fried, I think! Enjoy!
Susan–Hush puppies are the best! I can fry up a batch and eat the whole thing in one sitting.
Deb–Thank you for your kind offer. If I'm ever in Augusta, I'll give you a shout!
I'm crazy about catfish, and I don't know where it comes from as I grew up in L.A.! Well, of course it comes from the fact that catfish is wonderfully good. Fried is my favorite, too. And I would love dipping my fried fish in that mayo. Heavens.
My dad starts fishing and freezing catfish right when spring starts, and come summer we have a huge freezer full of fish. Then he'll set up his fryer and the whole family gathers at my parents' house, where we eat catfish, hush puppies (made with cornmeal, not those cylindrical ones you buy at the store) and fries. There is nothing more satisfying than a Texas fish fry!
Lisa–Fried catfish is indeed wonderfully good, and that mayo wasn't too bad either!
Traci–You betcha! I miss those big ol' fish fries!
Love that Chipotle lime mayo recipe. Surely you have a Chipotle restaurant up there in NY. It is my favorite "fast" food. Cilantro is an obsession of mine. I don't know how I have survived in Arkansas for nearly 2 years (OK – I have been back to TX at least 7 times in that duration).
I love fried catfish, too. The best places I have had it were the Dixie Cafe in Hearne and UNBELIEVABLY, a place called Catfish City here in Arkansas (owners are actually from Louisiana).
Best of eating to you, my Texan friend. I feel for you – because New York is a LOT farther away from the border than Arkansas. 😉 God bless and may you come to rest once again on Texas soil soon!
Sprittibee–I'm not surprised there's good catfish in Arkansas, it's close enough to Texas afterall. And yes, cilantro is also an obsession of mine. I'm attempting trying to grow some for the first time. Fingers crossed!
Thank you for this hush puppy recipe! Summer vacations to visit my family in Louisiana got me hooked on fried catfish & hush puppies. Yesterday we did a fish fry here at home (Bay Area, CA) and I made your hush puppy recipe – it was a hit. For the catfish, I stick w/ straight cornmeal, salt and pepper and perhaps a bit of cayenne depending on who my guests are. Thanks for the blog – it's great.
My Grandma took me fishing instead of baking cookies when I was young. We caught many fish, some catfish. I loved her deep South recipes. Much like yours. Recently, I had a pecan encrusted catfish dish along with cole slaw. The pecan crust was a welcome treat instead of the usual cornmeal. It was really divine!I am going to make it tonight!
Just stumbled on your blog and love it! I'm a multigenerational native Texan who now lives in Portland, OR. I love Oregon, but what I miss most about Texas is the food. I always eat fried catfish and hush puppies when I go back for a visit. YUM! My dad gets them whole and crunches on the tails which freaked my non-native husband out at first! I bought a 1/2 a cow from a rancher who does grass-fed beef in eastern Oregon this year and after reading your blog, I'm pulling the brisket out of the freezer today!
I have never tasted catfish but this one looks good.
Will try this one out if I am able to spot a catfish at local fish market.
Man, thanks for this recipe! I live in Bahrain and caught some pretty nice pan size fish today. They scaled and cleaned up nicely. I found some Quaker Corn Meal at Al Jazira market, but I couldn't remember just exactly how to make the dredge/batter.
They ain't catfish but they'll do in pinch!
Our Family has been making Hush Puppy's for over 150+ years. Dad served them in a resturant. If you want them to be the best you have ever tried. Use beer your choice for the liquid, along with plenty of black pepper and Onion. Then I use Habanero ( Chopped up and held in Viniger in a pint jar) Dip out a Tea Spoon of the liquid and pepper. These make the best in the world.
Mercy! That sure is good!
I had been fretting over whether or not to try frying up some whiting my husband brought down, so I decided to give your recipe a try…well, it was mighty fine! It fried up just as quick as can be, and I recycled not only my frying oil, but I went ahead & used my dredging flour for my hush puppies, too! It was great! All four of my little ones ate it all up in under 15 minutes, and as God is my witness, nothing's ever left my table that fast!
Unfortunately, I'm now flat out of fish right smack in the middle of the week, during lent! 🙂 no matter, we enjoyed it too much to care!
Thank you so much! Lord bless you for saving an old girl from yet another night of pasta marinara!
The lost ingredient! In the early 50s we would make Hush Puppies for the Friday Night Movie at 10:30 on TV. Don't laugh, that's what we did! Anyway, for many years I search for a method of getting more onion taste in the Hush Puppies. I tried boiling the onion before putting it in, and everything you can think of. Finally, many years later, I tried Onion Powder and found the taste I always wanted, but could never achieve. This recipe is perfect – if only you add Onion Powder to taste. About a teaspoon should do it for this recipe, maybe a little more. Enjoy. One other little trick: I don't use a mix for ANYTHING! But I use Jiffy Cornbread Mix at a ratio of 1/3 to 1/2 of the cornmeal. Makes the Hush Puppies rise when cooiking and are large and light. I also use self rising buttermilk cornmeal mix and don't have to use the baking powder.
yes mississippi is the catfish capital, over 70 percent is grown there, but all farm raised catfish in the USA is great, so please next time you buy some catfish make sure its not from asia as they do not have the same regulations on their catfish as we do here, you dont even want to know about their "farm raised fish" anyway great recipe!!
I have a friend who is Cajun and grew up in the Beaumont area. They make their catfish much the same way as you do, except they marinate it in yellow mustard before cooking it. And no, they don't rinse it off and no, you don't taste the mustard, when it's cooked.
Many "eons" ago, I found a tartar sauce for seafood in a very old booklet of recipes from an order of Catholic nuns in Louisiana and it is so good. It is extremely tart and you need to make it the day before to allow the flavors to meld and also to thicken up.
4 very large lemons freshly squeezed (leave any pulp you might have in the juice, if small you will need 5, also after cutting them and removing the seeds, you can nuke them for about 15 to 20 seconds and they give a little more juice. They need to be room temperature to obtain their full amount of juice.
Liberal dash of cayenne, liberal amount of garlic powder and some paprika. I pour these powders into the lemon juice after the lemon juice to the mayo before stirring everything together to sort of reconstitute the powders.
6 to 8 green onions about Just long enough to include a small amount of the green portion, choose them about as big around as your middle finger, after trimming them I quarter them lengthwise and then cut them across in small increments. also don't use the packaged "Cajun seasonings" as these contain salt.
BTW Lisa, your blog is my FIRST go to for anything!
I would never eat catfish until my little cajun friend convinced me to eat hers. She marinaded it in Mustard! She said the mustard kind of neutralizes any strong fishy taste, assuming the catfish has been filleted correctly. When it's cooked, there is no mustard taste to the fish. Now I don't have a problem eating it, if it's prepared correctly.
Faye–Thank you for the tip! I've never heard of marinating catfish in mustard but look forward to trying it that way.
