fillet them, bread and season to taste, deep fry

Unless you really, really like the distinctive taste and texture of catfish, deep frying is the only good option.

Cut up into nuggets, bread em and fry those bitches. Serve with ketchup or hot sauce and pair with peas. It's one of my favorite treats.

my fondest catfish memory

>I lived on a 450 acre ranch for most of my young life (like, ages 6-15) and it was covered in tanks (Texan slang for pond for those not in the know). After a friend took us to the lake I decided I was into fishing. I was like ten at the time. So anyways I went to the nearest tank and started fishing with this huge rod. After an hour or so of catching little dudes and tossing them back, my mom and sister came out with one of those little kid rods that's cartoon themed. We kept fishing and suddenly my little sister screamed and started to lose her pole. So I dropped mine and sprinted over and grabbed it from her. Using the crappy kiddie rod I pulled in a huge (to 10yo me) catfish. It was only 5 or 6 pounds but to me it was gigantic. So we plopped him in the cooler and totes him home. Mom took us to the store and we bought cornmeal and mom gutted and cleaned the fish, fried him up, and made some hush puppies. It was the only time in my life I ever caught something and killed it and ate it, and damn it was satisfying.

Anyways yeah roll the meat in cornmeal and fry them shits up, little lemon and tartar sauce on the side. Extremely good.

throw it out, catfish is fuckign gross, fried or any way

Deep fried with fries and ketchup. Or baked with lemon pepper. Growing up in louisiana I had this shit at least once a week so good.

uncultured pleb

I bought a small live catfish for my aquarium about five years ago. He was a huge pain in the ass. Had to tape up the entire top of the tank so the asshole would quit jumping out every night.

We always crushed saltine crackers for breading. Fucking perfect.

skin (easiest way is to slice around the back of the head, make long cuts down each side, nail it's head to a post, then pull the skin off)
filet it
Soak files in buttermilk for a while
Bread with cornmeal and flour mixture (and a little salt with some pepper)
deep fry
lemon juice it
enjoy

I hope it was farm raised.

catfish sucks

I fish quite often and catch sailcat a lot, the usual process is catch, bleed, clean, fillet, skin, scoop the red lateral lines with a spoon, and deep fry. But I've enjoyed it baked, seared, and steamed. Its really not much different than most other white meat fish.

>>6099482

Viet clay pot catfish is pretty baller tier if you've never tried it. Sweet, pungent, and perfect with jasmine rice.

>"DAM YALL SUM SOTHERN FUCKS"

and with that I'll take my leave.

Fry it

Fry them bastards up with salt, pepper, cayenne, and cornmeal.
Serve them shits with some coleslaw and grits and an onion cut in half. Drench in hot sauce and there you go.

the used up tissue looks more appetizing there than the dry fish and liquid post-burrito feces.

What is that?
It looks more like a latex glove.

>>6099442
What up 850bro? Don't think I've ever seen another person from pcola on ck.

On topic: Deep frying is the default method but I think poaching or baking it enclosed with lemons, butter and herbs could be nice. Supposedly dill pairs well with fish.

The "tissue" is cabbage. It's Indonesian dish, the catfish is marinated first with paste of turmeric, garlic, shallot, etc and then deep-fried without any breading.
Served with spicy sauce made of blended chili, tomato, garlic, and fermented fish paste.

FREEDOM!!!!!

Just say it's sambal

Feed it, pet it, let it live a long and good live.
Burry it once it's gone.

>>6100769
>burry a fish

I figured burning it would be somewhat ironic.

Only 2 types of people eat catfish:
Poorfags and ni.....

I had a catfish burrito at a Mexican/southern fusion type place in Detroit a couple days ago. It was honestly delicious. Place was called Zenith if you're interested.
