How Does a Person Cook Catfish?
Pan Fry In a bowl, combine 3/4 cup cornmeal, 1/4 tsp. garlic powder, a dash of salt and pepper, and 1/4 cup flour. Mix them well. Pour oil into your frying pan about halfway up and then turn the stove to high heat. When the oil is hot, dip your catfish into the mixture. Make sure you get the catfish covered on both sides. It helps if the catfish has a little water on it for the mixture to stick to it. Place it carefully in the frying pan so you don’t splash oil on yourself. Watch the color of the catfish. When it turns brown, it is ready to come out. It doesn’t take but a few minutes, so keep your eye on it. The cornmeal mixture will keep the juices inside, but if you cook it too long it will dry out. Baked in the Oven Get out your baking pan and spray it with non-stick cooking spray. If you don’t have any, wipe down your pan with a light coating of oil. Get out two bowls. Put evaporated milk in one bowl and crushed up cornflakes in the other. One by one, take your catfish and coat it
