    Recipe Introduction


    The secret to fried catfish is cooking
    it at just the right temperature to
    seal in the moisture and flavor. When
    you first drop it into the grease you
    want to seal it and then cook it.

    You can use fresh catfish fillets, or
    you can use the farm raised variety
    available in the supermarket freezer section.

    List of Ingredients




    Ingredients:

    Enough catfish fillets for 3 or 4 medium
    pieces per person.
    1 cup Yellow Corn Meal (This should be enough
    to coat the catfish fillets)
    2 teaspons Lawry's Seasoned Salt
    Crisco or your favorite vegetable cooking oil.
    (Enough to cover the catfish).





    Recipe



    Rinse the fillets thoroughly and then
    pat dry with a paper towel. If using fresh
    catfish, skin the catfish and then wash
    thoroughly. Pat dry with a paper towel.

    Roll the fresh, catfish fillets in
    a mixture of corn meal and Lawry's
    Seasoned Salt. If you cannot find
    Lawry's Seasoned Salt, then your favorite
    seasoned salt will have to do. It's
    just that Lawry's Seasoned Salt is a
    southern favorite. A quick way to coat
    the fish in the corn meal and season
    mixture is to place it in a plastic bag
    and just shake it.
    Drop into deep fryer at 325 degrees.
    Fry until it turns golden brown, about
    5 minutes. Dump onto paper towel and
    allow to drain.

    Serve with collard greens, macaroni
    and cheese, cole slaw and hush puppies.
