Down home catfish

This is easy, fast and good!

If you don't want to do the deep fat thing, I've done it in a frying pan with a good bit of oil. You just have to remember to turn the fish after it is done on one side.

Once upon a time Gammy and Poppop visited our friends Butch, Janie and Mimi at there house ,next to their daughter Shelly's house, in Jasper, Texas. They don't do dollar double cheeseburbers there, but everything else is real nice. Well, Shelly's husband , Tony, made us deep fried, deep south catfish and I'm going to try to tell you about it.

Get some catfish fillets and cut them across about 1 inch thick. Dredge, roll, cover, whatever, the fish with corn meal and only corn meal. Drop them one at a time into hot fat. It could be any kind, but just a big jug of vegtable oil will work best. Fry them 'til they are golden and firm. While you are doing that get your veggies going. Fried or baked potatoes and some tossed salad.

Seve it up!! with some beer and maybe some jalapeno peppers stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped with bacon!
