Method

1

Peel and dice the potatoes. Chop the onion and celery. Mince the garlic.

2

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

3

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

4

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, making sure to dissolve any lumps. Add the potatoes and Old Bay seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

5

While the chowder simmers, prepare the catfish. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the catfish fillets with salt and pepper.

6

Fry or blacken the catfish fillets until cooked through and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Flake the cooked catfish into bite-sized pieces.

7

Once the potatoes are tender, stir in the heavy cream and flaked catfish into the chowder. Heat through gently, being careful not to boil.

8

Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
