Fried Catfish - Southern Style
Enough catfish fillets for 3 or 4 medium pieces per person.
1 cup Yellow Corn Meal
2 teaspoons Lowry's or your favorite Seasoned Salt
Crisco or your favorite vegetable cooking oil. (Enough to cover the catfish).

(A deep fryer but a frying pan will work just fine)

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.

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 Lowry's Seasoned Salt.

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

Drain on paper towels.

ENJOY!!!
