How do you cook catfish?

I like mine dredged in flour or corn meal and fried in a cast iron skillet. Butter if using flour, oil if using corn meal. and don't forget the salt.

Filet them and add corn meal and flour to a mix with some crushed red pepper, black pepper, salt, and texas pete. Roll in the mix and fry in a cast iron skillet or deep fry them.

I like to coat my pieces in French's Yellow Mustard, not too much, just kinda smear a decent coat on. Then I roll it in Uncle Buck's Hot-N-Spicy fish fry. Fry em up and eat away!
