Notes
Leftovers
Got leftovers? You can definitely store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days. If you would like to freeze, just understand that the texture will slightly change once thawed after cooking but just make sure to cool completely then freeze in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to a month.Reheating
If you froze leftovers, let it thaw in the fridge overnight. Once thawed, heat it on the stovetop over medium-low until the catfish is just hot enough. If you overheat, you could dry it out.Nutrition
