Yia Vang Catches Catfish With His Bare Hands — Then Turns Them Into an Riverside Feast

Food Is Life 132,668 viewsMore from this channel

Yia Vang heads into an Oklahoma river for his first experience noodling for catfish — a hands-on way of fishing that means reaching into underwater holes and hoping the thing that bites is the fish you’re looking for. After making it back to shore, the day turns into a serious catfish cookout. Yia prepares blue catfish a few different ways, including a panko-crusted fried sandwich and a pecan-crusted preparation with fresh peaches and a sweet-and-spicy sorghum glaze. It’s a day of getting soaked, trying something completely new, and proving that the meal tastes a little better when you had to work for it. If you’re a fan of Andrew Zimmern’s outdoor adventures, wild foods and cooking, follow Chef Yia Vang into the wild. In FERAL, Yia catches, cooks and celebrates wild foods that deserve a second look. #YiaVang #CatfishNoodling #CatchAndCook #WildFood #OutdoorCooking
