Cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Remove bay leaves, add catfish and simmer 8 - 10 minutes more until fish flakes to the fork. Serve over rice in soup bowls. Possibly better to wilt all fresh vegetables before adding to pan. Also for: Catfish, Any Fish Recipe date: 12/11/87
