courtbullion, coo-bee-yon, sauce piquant, stew or none of the above?

Sauté trinity and garlic. Mix in some tomato paste and dark roux. Add seafood stock and diced tomato. Season and simmer for an hour or so. Add some parsley and green onion, poach the fish and turn off the fire.

My seriously Cajun nearly 80 year old MIL (no pics) walked into the kitchen and saw what I was cooking and called it catfish stew. She said that is what her paw paw made and called it. He was a cook on a tugboat.

I have no idea what to call it. However, it looks fantastic. Can you post the full recipe if there is more to it than the above? Thanks!

Not much more to post. It was a small batch. Maybe 1 pound of catfish filets. About a quart of stock. Maybe a cup and half of trinity. Garlic. A tablespoon or two of tomato paste, almost 2 tablespoons of dark roux and seasoning

Sauté trinity and cook paste and roux into it. Add broth (in this case Better than Bullion lobster base) and about half a can of diced tomatoes. Simmer for about an hour. I wanted to thicken it some so I added a few tablespoons of butter and flour roux I cooked on the side near the end.

Added green onion and parsley and then filets and simmered for a few minutes and turned off the heat.

We have similar recipe in India like Courtbillion but we use Tamarind to sour the fish. My favorite meal.

Saute onion with chilis, curry leaves, mustard seeds and cumin seeds. pour tamarind puree and let it simmer with corriander powder, cumin, chilli powder, turmeric and salt

After the gravy thickens, slowly drop catfish steaks and let it simmer for 10 more minutes,

We usually don't eat immediately but let the fish take all that balanced sourness and eat for next meal.

That is a courtbullion. If thickened more, I would call it a sauce piquante.

Besides the meal looking amazing, is no one going to comment about the rice? It's perfection in that meal.
