How To Make fried whole catfish

• Step 1
  I fry my catfish in my Chicken Fryer (Large 13" Fry Pan.) I usually put 1/2 to 3/4 inch of oil in pan and heat on high. The pan will handle 4 or 5 at a time.
• Step 2
  Rinse catfish and dry with paper towel. Lightly salt and pepper both sides of catfish.
• Step 3
  Roll or dust catfish with flour, salt and pepper. I use my "All Purpose Breading and Coating", which see. Or use your favorite breading.
• Step 4
  Fry for approximately 30 or 35 minutes, turning frequently. Watch that flour sediment on bottom of pan does not burn.
• Step 5
  Serve with Tartar Sauce and Lemon Wedges, and your favorite potato, rice or salad.
• Step 6
  Try my "Horsey Tartar Sauce", which see. My son's favorite and of his making.
