Catfish chunks

[JGDean]

I just bought some catfish chunks and they are thawing. Suggestions on what to do with them?

Fry them up with some hushpuppies, make some coleslaw and potato salad....mmmm.

They call them catfish nuggets here. I just toss them to coat in seasoned cornmeal. Or you can use a commerical brand in the seafood dept of the store for deep frying fish. Then deep fry until light brown (fish cooks very quickly).

I have not tried the recipe for cooking them in boiling water. It says to drop them into boiling water for a minute or two. But I have microwaved catfish nuggets and added them to a seafood salad. That will preserve the fishy flavor if you like it.

You could also do an equal parts beer and flour, mix, let set on counter for a couple hours, coat, then deep fry. Salt and pepper right after they come out.

Or you could make salt and pepper catfish - which is just as it seems, a breading with a little too much salt and a LOT too much pepper. The fish is rather bland so the coating makes up for it.
