In 1950, and after watching grandpa Curl skin the big ole catfish he just caught in an Indiane creek,...by nailing it to a tree and pulling off the skin with his trusty ole plyers...YUCK! I wasn't sure I wanted to eat it at supper time. But after grandma starting frying it up...HA! AFTER A FEW BITES, I WAS HOOKED!! AND REMAIN SO TO THIS DAY.. .Nancy..12/27/12

How To Make my fried catfish w/ homemade nuggets

Step 1

Cut your catfish filet into bite size nuggets. ** TIP:I never buy the catfish nuggets packaged and sold in the store...!! NUGGETTS ????? I cut up my own...Then I know it is the best part of the fish! Wash and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Put flour in one bowl. Beaten egg , with a little milk (very little)in another bowl. Bread crumbs,homemade cracker crumbs,or Panko in the third bowl.
Step 3

Dip the nuggets into the flour,then the egg wash, next the crumbs.Put on a plate. When the are all breaded ...put in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes.
Step 4

Heat the oil to a 350-370 temperature. Fry your nuggets 3 or 4 at a time...do not over crowd them. Drain on a rack over paper towels. Serve warm with dip of your choice. I use mayonnaise mixed with catsup. Salt and pepper..... and a salad on the side. Now enjoy to your heart content!!
