Catfish Fry — coastline cooking: fresh catch, hard spices, and a clock that stops the second it is done. 35 minutes of mostly hands-off cooking.

Marinate the catfish in the spices and lemon for 20 minutes.

Coat in rice flour — a thin, honest layer, not a mask.

Chef's tip

Coconut milk boils to butter if you rush it; warm it, never boil it.
