Fried Catfish
Fried catfish is a simple method that basically requires you to put a
little butter or oil into the pan and heat on medium. Once the pan
reaches it full temperature place the catfish fillets in single file
and cook for about five minutes on each side, turning once.
This part is simple but again there are many recipes for ways to
prepare the catfish filets for frying that will give it a completely
different taste. Cajun fried catfish is one of the most popular
recipes. Start by mixing two cups of cornmeal and three tablespoons of
Cajun seasoning together. In a separate bowl mix two eggs, one cup milk
and about � cup of mustard together.
Place oil in a fry pan and heat to about 375 degrees. When it reaches
full temperature take a catfish filet and place it into the egg mixture
until it is completely coated, then cover it completely with the
cornmeal mixture. Place in pan and fry as usual.
The great thing about these recipes is that you have the option of
experimenting and adding or taking away an ingredient until you find
the perfect taste for your family. When cooking catfish you do need to
make sure that you don't overcook. If you do overcook it, the filets
will begin to flake apart and it will taste very dry. This will
certainly reduce the flavor and you won't be able to enjoy the great
taste this species of fish has to offer. When fully cooked the catfish
filets will turn from a translucent color to a white color.
If you enjoy fishing, then you get to enjoy two great things from
catching catfish. First, you have the fun and excitement of reeling in
this amazing fish that will definitely put up a fight that you will be
talking about for a long time to come. Then you have the pleasure of
eating one of the best tasting foods available. What more could you ask
