Deep South Dining

Delta raised catfish can be found on happy plates throughout the south and the whole country. Today we talk with Katy Simmons Prosser from Simmons Catfish about this prize fish and the many cuts they serve. Also, we bring the coleslaw and hushpuppies to the table, for this Monday morning fish fry. _________________________________Classic Fried Catfish and HushpuppiesFried CatfishIngredients4 U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish Fillets¾ cup yellow cornmeal¼ cup all-purpose flour2 teaspoons salt1 teaspoon cayenne pepper¼ teaspoon garlic powderVegetable oil for fryingCombine cornmeal, flour, salt, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder.Coat catfish with the mixture, shaking off excess.
