UncleFester UncleFester trapper Registered: 12/23/06 Posts: 2244 Loc: Onslow county NC	I do mine like this. 1. Dredge in seasoned flour. 2. Dip in egg wash. 3. Dredge again in the flour. 4. Deep fry 350 till golden brown. 5. Season w/cajun seasoning while it is still hot, right out of the oil. 6. Enjoy. _________________________ "I would rather be a nutjob conservative, than a liberal with no nuts and no job!!!"

UncleFester UncleFester trapper Registered: 12/23/06 Posts: 2244 Loc: Onslow county NC	Its good you wont be disapointed. Just make sure you use plenty of cajun seasoning at the end, so it comes out good and spicy!!! _________________________ "I would rather be a nutjob conservative, than a liberal with no nuts and no job!!!"

Woofman Woofman trapper Registered: 01/23/07 Posts: 769 Loc: Connecticut	Try Panko crumbs. It's an asian thing. Most of the larger supermarkets would have it in the Asian food aisle. It makes a light, crispy coating. Excellent. Otherwise, Sdavis has a good method. I would add a few suggestions to it. I lay onion slices over the fish an hour or more before cooking. The fish should be cut in small pieces to make them easier to handle, and allow more crisp. I keep my oil a little hotter than 350. Maybe 375. Important: don't overload the fryer. It's better to cook a few pieces at a time so the oil doesn't cool, which would lead to an oily end-product.

Skunkum Skunkum trapper Registered: 11/25/07 Posts: 6 Loc: Toadsuck, Arkansas (Yes, Reall...	Lots of good ways to cook up a catfish, but you asked about frying. Simplest is sometimes the best! Chill dressed catfish in some salt water, no longer than overnight. Shake off water and roll in cornmeal (can dust cornmeal with salt and pepper). Fry in oil or melted shortening in cast iron skillet, turning once. Best served hot, leftovers are OK warmed in oven for breakfast. Fancy is good, too! Again, chill dressed catfish in some salt water, no longer than overnight. This works best if fish is chunks, steaks or fillets (not whole fish). Pat fish dry and dip in buttemilk, roll in mix of 1/2 flour, 1/2 cracker crumbs. Fry as above.
