Fried Mississippi Catfish tonight.  It's still not pot roast weather here.  It will be tomorrow, though.  It will get down to close to freezing tonight :-\

Now I like fried catfish.....can eat it til I explode... ;D

I'm not generally fond of catfish because it tastes like generic fish.  Give me a wild caught fresh tuna steak or wild caught Red Snapper any day for good flavor.  But I know how to cook a catfish filet to suit my taste.  This is what I do:

Buy a big Mississippi farm raised cat fish
Sprinkle Zataran's liquid crab/shrimp boil over it and let it soak in for a minute or two.
Sprinkle the filet with Kosher salt
Put the filet in a bag and roll it around in flour until it's well covered.
fill a pan that will fit the filet with oil half way.
When the oil gets to 350 (I use my fish room infrared thermometer)
Put in the filet and fry it for 7 minutes.
I like lemon juice on mine :P

This has so few ingredients and takes so little time it's hard to believe that the flavor is so wonderful.  I think that the secret  must be the Zataran's crab boil.  If you put a drop of it on your finger and taste it all you can taste is "HOT" but when you read the ingredients there are spices in it.  The cooked filet absorbs very little heat but seems to absorb the spices.

Thanks..worth a try.....I like fresh fish too.....we just use a Bisquick beer batter for catfish/bass/walleye/etc.........yum..
