Deep Fried Catfish And Hush Puppies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

catfish
crackers or cornmeal
1 egg
1 Tbsp. milk
lard or vegetable oil (for frying)

Preparation

Clean and skin catfish, then cut into thick slices.
Dip slices into crackers or cornmeal, then into a mixture of egg and milk and again into the crumbs or meal.
The traditional Southern fat is lard, but vegetable oil may be used, if preferred.
The fat must be very hot.
Put the coated fish into a frying basket, immerse in the fat and cook until golden brown (do not crowd the fish, the kettle should be large and roomy).
Serve at once with Hush Puppies fried in the same fat as the fish.
