Yum! Yum! Made this for dinner tonight. It was WONDERFUL. Made homemade hushpuppies too. It was a delicious meal. My 4 year old even liked the fish! And that’s REALLY saying something. We have become a cereal, poptart, pbj, spaghetti and hot dog family because of my 2 and 4 year olds and their picky tastes. Thanks for your wonderful recipes and the way you are inspiring me to cook again.

I grew up eating channel catfish, and the best (IMHO) were the tiny fingerlings (so much sweeter) and they were NOT fillets. Heads were removed, but all bones were left intact. Mmmmm! Good! The catfish is one of the easiest fish to eat without getting any bones in the mouth. Thanks, Christy, for your wonderful work here, Buddy (rural Georgian, 60 y.o.)

I bought catfish filets today, and was debating on whether to go back out and get the buttermilk, my mom didn’t use it, and I have never, but for some reason I though I should. But thanks goodness for your great memory of these old traditions, when i read the reason for the buttermilk, I remembered hearing that before. Its funny the traditions I read on your site are exactly the same as my families and we were about 40 miles from the coast between panama and dothan, but the coast was too far away to have any influence on them. My granny never left the few miles around her house cause she could not cross rail road tracks, so she was trapped in about a 14 mile radius of land. The only seafood we ever got was mullet, now i can’t find it. Now for a good fish fry!

I am loving this website so much for the wonderful recipes and the wonderful conversation,too. I am not much of a fish eater except for good catfish. Growing up in rural Mississippi, Daddy would buy it fresh from the river at the local store, skin and clean it (how the cat loved that as he got the roe and innards, Mama washed, seasoned and mealed it then it went into hot grease still a flapping. She hated that part as the fish splattered grease everywhere. We had buttermilk growing up but I have never developed a taste for it. When I need it, I add 1 T. white vinegar to 1 cup sweet milk then let it set for 5 minutes; works just like buttermilk. Also, King Arthur’s flour website has a powdered butter milk that is great for baking, cooking. Anyway, this puts me in the mood for some fried fish; maybe make this this weekend when I’m off work. I want to make the chicken salad recipe, too.

That looks so yummy! I’ve never had catfish before. They look scary. I’ve been craving fish tacos lately though!

Christie, my husband was not a seafood eater either until I came along after he was over 40 years old. I had to teach him to eat it. Oh my goodness, it can be so healthy for you. Have you ever tried crab cakes? Now, I’ll admit it’s almost impossible to find a decent crab cake in a resaurant, but homemade is a completely different story. With that said, if you are willing to try a recipe for HOMEMADE crabcakes I will gladly ship you some FRESH blue crabmeat from right here in Pensacola Florida. Don’t worry it will arrive fresh as can be. We have a real treasure in our town called JOE PATTIS SEAFOOD. They have a great website. They ship all over the country. I have shipped shrimp, crab and oysters to friends, and they are all still alive after eating it! Please consider taking me up on this offer. I’ll furnish my recipe that is a favorite of all who eat it. Besides, you don’t want your babies growing up telling folks that don’t eat seafood because MAMA didn’t! Just let me know.

I love fried catfish. I have it at least once a week. Love the resturants that bring you hush puppies while you wait for your food.
