Fried Catfish

Willy knows that fried catfish is a southern delicacy. Willy also knows that many will argue about the best way to fry catfish. Will, Willy believes that simple is the best and Willy uses the following as a good easy catfish frying recipe.
-------------
Catfish, cut into strips
Salt
Pepper
Accent
Cayenne pepper
1 egg, beaten
Self rising flour or cornmeal
Oil for frying
Season catfish with salt, pepper, accent and cayenne pepper (if desired). Dip strips into beaten egg and dredge in flour or cornmeal. Deep fry for 5 to 8 minutes and drain oil off strips.

Willy is right! Simple is best when it comes to fried catfish. Adding the cayenne pepper here is a nice touch, too.

By the way, anyone who uses tartar sauce on wonderful, wonderful cat fish instead of lemon as God intended is an unwashed heathen.
