Ingredients
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil, divided
- 1 cup medium diced onions
- 1 cup medium diced celery
- 1 cup medium diced carrots
- 2 quarts lobster, shrimp broth or fish stock
- 1 pound catfish pieces
- 1 pound shucked oysters (about 6 dozen oysters in shell)
- 3 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 pint grape tomatoes
- 3 bay leaves
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- In a large pot (8-quart capacity) heat 1/4 cup of the oil. Saute onions, celery, and carrots for about 5 minutes until onions become translucent and celery and carrots begin to soften. Add broth and bring to a simmer. Add fish, oysters, Cajun seasoning, tomatoes, bay leaves, and salt and pepper, and cook until fish becomes opaque. In a separate bowl, mix the other 1/2 cup of oil with the flour, and stir this mixture gently into the stew to thicken. Cook for a few minutes more to integrate flavors.

Love this. A new comfort dish. Question: The picture appears to show okra. Is okra missing from the ingredient list or is it the wrong picture?
This is really good comfort food for me on a snowy day.I love the menu’s Robert puts together for failing restaurants.My favorite show is restaurant impossible,he comes up with simple sounding food that people love.Thanks for this one too Chef Robert,I was sooo pulling for you as next iron chef.
This is a regular in my rotation during the winter months. The only things in the recipe I don’t add are the oysters and tomatoes (I don’t care for either in stew). I also use Old Bay instead of a cajun seasoning as my wife handles spice like an eskimo. It’s very easy and tastes great.
This recipe was very easy, and very yummy! I will make it again, but next time I will cut the amount of oil in half.
