Today has been a run day and it will be a run evening, so when we had the chance to stop, catch a breath, take a break from the heat.. it was done with light and joy..
Our local river has gone down a fair amount and the fishing season has opened up for a number of things.. locally you can catch catfish year round.. but this was my first spring Catfish fry and it was awesome.
A egg-milk wash, a cornmeal dipping and into the fryer.. Homemade chips (showing my English roots, aka Fries) with a touch of seasoning salt..
Honestly how can you go wrong with fresh fish and while I know that some don’t like catfish, I have always liked it. There is a recommended limit on how many to eat per month in our local area. Do you like catfish?
Just another Day on the Farm 
Never had ’em. 🙂 … why the eating limit?
They have a recommended eating limit of each kind of fish per month, but there are so many kinds to catch that you could eat them daily, so I am honestly not sure why.. I will do a little digging and asking an see if I can get a answer that makes sense to me.
Maybe because of industrial pollution?
That is possible.. I have no doubt that the fish are effected by that.
Yup, love Blackened “Cajun” style.
Eating limits are usually because of the chance of toxic stuff the fish have picked up out of the water ):
In Texas, we just coat the fish in cornmeal and fry, but my dad would put cornmeal, lemon wedges , sliced onions and the catfish in a paper bag, shake vigorously and then fry the fish.
I can see that being very nice indeed, I have very fond memories of baked lake fish with its belly filled with sliced onions, butter, salt and pepper with lemon slices at a times popped in as well
