Rinse off the filets and cut them into the size you want. Pat them dry on a paper towel. "Jack my catfish recipe is an old recipe that the country folks used for generations. It is pretty simple. In a large bowl put your fish in and add maybe a cup of water. Add lots of garlic powder and salt. Stir until it gets sticky, For your batter every cup of corn meal put 1/4 cup of flour. Season with lots of garlic powder and salt. Your catfish will be sticky and the batter will stick. Fry till golden brown. This recipe is how country folks cooked fish for many generations, it is the best!" For just Gammy and Poppop we used 2 tbsp. each of salt and garlic powder in the water and 1 tbsp. each in the cornmeal/flour mixture.

Fry until they are golden brown put them on a dish lined with paper towels and let them drain a bit.

Serve it up with some tarter sauce, a wedge of lemon and the veggie du jour, While you have the hot oil, french fried potatoes go great! How did we do Tony?
