My big mama had an acre garden just outside of Fayetteville about 13 or 14 miles. She raised eight children, 22 grandchildren out of that garden. They raised their own meat and did not want for much even during the depression. It was a lot of love and good food in that little house. Probably why I love watching your channel. Our family was blended and full of music, gospel and lots of memories of fishing at the river and in the ponds and lakes. Great times

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Love that 😊

[@homesteadingpastor]

Looks like some fine dining there Miss Tipper. What a blessing to have each person at the table contribute to the meal. Not many families sit around the table together at suppertime anymore, y’all are truly blessed to do so. Thanks for sharing.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you 😀

Growing up, my grandparents had 3 fishing ponds behind their house, in central North Carolina. Once a year, the fish became overcrowded, so they would use a huge net to seine the ponds. A huge cast iron stew pot was set over an open fire and filled with oil. They brought the fish in, cleaned them and fried them in that huge pot. We always had vegetables straight from the garden, corn, tomatoes, and I loved whole cucumbers, and ate them peel and all. It's been over 60 years and I remember it like it was yesterday. I love hush puppies, so that hush puppy cornbread is on the menu.

[@grammyb5216]

Yummy again, Tipper! This is in fact a feast. Thank You Lord for providing for us all. 🙏♥️

[@sunnygal57]

Oh my goodness…fresh fried fish is the absolute best! Everything looks delicious! ❤

[@bethmiller6827]

We put a little cayenne in hushpuppies, too. Such a beautiful, delicious meal!

[@tennesseesmoky9012]

What a wonderful meal you’ve whipped up for your family. I’m a happy guy anytime I am fortunate enough to have fried fish, taters, hush puppies and coleslaw. Nothing says “country cooking” better than a meal like this one. Now, your also starting to enjoy the homegrown vegetables from your garden. I know that y’all are looking forward to a summer full of fresh produce being harvested. God is good and His blessings include good food for us to eat. I enjoyed this video, it made me me hungry for a meal like this. Thank you for sharing. - Tennessee Smoky

When I was a teen, my dad would fry us fish he caught, make salmon patties, and thick fried ham sandwiches. He also made the best chocolate malts. Fall and winter, every Sunday morning, mom made orange rolls for us kids. Before church she would stick a roast in the oven. Mom usually had a big pot of chili on the stove. Dad liked to cook. Mom loved to bake (cheesecakes, Pecan Tarts, Butter Horns, Cinnamon Rolls, etc.) She enjoyed making candies too. Especially at Christmas time. Divinity and fudge. My sister and I bake as well. I enjoy making breakfasts and soups. Sis enjoys canning.

[@angelenemclane955]

So sorry Grannie is having this issue, praying for her to be able to get through her treatment with the least of I'll effects.

I just love being in the kitchen with family making home made non processed food like that. You cannot get any healthier or more delicious. No chemicals, good fresh wonderful nourishment and family to nourish your heart. Add The Lord in there and you got everything a soul needs other than water and a roof. Thank you for sharing. I want to move back home and be with my family.

Your killing me! I am so hungry just hearing about your dinner deliciousness.

[@serinachilders74]

I was hoping you would show us how you fillet your fish. Sure did look like a good meal. Always nice to see the family sitting around the table eating together.

[@CindyWhopantsCarter3421]

I tried to slow the video way down to see how she did it but still it was too fast LOL

[@susanbeal3253]

I’m with you, Tipper! I’d rather have fish than steak, chicken, or any other meat on the planet especially if it’s fresh caught and fried up crisp. We fry our fish outside too, and always have slaw, some kind of potato, homemade tartar sauce, and sliced cucumbers & tomatoes in season. Can’t wait to try that hush puppy cornbread. A home cooked meal with family gathered around is a priceless treasure, providing memories that will last down through the generations. ❤❤

[@wop130]

That’s a full plate for Matt. I miss having home cooked meals.

[@PellyjellyMom]

I was cleaning trout at 8 years old. We camped all summer and lived off trout and catfish, fried potatoes, slaw and fried bread. My Dad did the filleting because I couldn’t do that. I was so proud at 10 I could clean a catfish. We had big fish fries at our house. Thanks for returning those memories to me. ♥️

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Wonderful memories 😊

[@roxeyserckie5414]

Saw your video Q&A part 1 & learned that your girls are twins. I too am mother of twin girls. My best gift from God! Nearly 3 yrs ago, the younger one passed from heart attack in her sleep. That morning she was scheduled for heart cath by cardiologist but insurance denied procedure. God brought us thru the loss.

Bless you!!

[@nksanbornski6687]

I love cucumber sandwiches as much as Matt loves his tomato sandwiches. Made the same way. ❤✌

[@Sewmena918]

I like those too! Also, radish and salted butter sandwiches.😊

[@nksanbornski6687]

@@Sewmena918 Radish sandwiches are good. 😁

[@nancyjohnson6867]

I was going to add radish sandwiches to the list, but two people beat me to it. Radishes for breakfast on top of buttered toast. A little salt did to the radishes on the toast

[@terriswan9205]

​@@nancyjohnson6867I love radishes on buttered toast also on buttered saltine crackers

[@lisamarx9835]

On my grandpas farm in Missouri they always cooked the fish over the fire in a cast iron pot that was a big family fish fry. Looks yummy God bless

[@rachelfrees1268]

Tipper I hope you get some of the cucumbers. What a feast. Your hush puppy cornbread is the star right along with the fish. You all enjoy❤

[@Birddog67]

Wow, we could smell the fish cooking down here in South Texas, and the cornbread looked really wonderful! The garden fresh vegetables looked sooooo good. A meal fit for the King!

I remember those Wesson oil measuring cups. I remember when you could get one if you bought the big bottle of Wesson oil it was attached to the bottle. Your supper looks delicious family time is the best😊❤️

Tipper and family…thank y’all for this video…my neighborhood here in Cleveland TN. used to have a fish fry after a good day on the water during the summer where all the fishermen and fisherwoman (my late wife Terri was always lucky with a rod and reel) would meet up at a neighbors house and cook up a feast (we also did ramps back when we were free to gather them)…I’m 70 now (a widower for 6 years) and your KZbin content always takes me back to the good memories…may God continue to bless you and yours 🙏🙏🙏.

My Grandma used to do the best fried fish. She died in 2020 thank you for bringing back treasured memories.

I’m sorry you lost her.

[@virginiamesko6369]

Now that's a man who has done some fish frying in his time. He didn't spend all the cooking time turning it s hundred times. Good job, Sir.

[@amyhamilton2201]

Tipper, my Daddy would fish at Lake Sam Rayburn, not far from our house on El Camino Real, The King's Highway, and fillet up a lot of fish and make hush puppies!! It was amazing!! It was Crappie, which I loved. And I was never a bit picky, so I much enjoyed all the bounty!! Tonight watching you made me miss my dear DADDY. He's been with Jesus since 2009, but I figure he fishes with those guys now!

[@joybartlett9784]

We buried our fish guts and heads in our garden. Best fertilizer.

Oh, and great hush puppy hack!!

[@13soap13]

As a child, we often visited Gulf Shores, Alabama for a family vacation. Mind you, it was NOTHING like it is today. It was wonderfully rustic and there was not a high rise to be seen. But we sure did love all the good eating, fresh fish including Hush Puppies! One night my mom decided she could easily duplicate that recipe which was on the back of a bag of local flour. Well, we were all excited! And let me tell you ... they were the most horrible things we ever ate. Hard as rocks! Years afterward, we still laughed about it. In the Midwest, we eat fresh, fried fish with lots of melted butter and herbs such as tarragon and garlic. Y'all sure had a long day. Soon, you need to get a dishwasher. I'm single ... but I would never ever live anywhere without a dishwasher. If you do a bit of searching, you can still find one that is portable ... and would easily slide into that empty space right side of the sink. ... Don't see "Tate's" cookies ... someone had a great snack ...

Hi Tipper! It's a home grown supper! So special. I love thinking about in generations past everyone ate that way. Food they raised or hunted and how special it tastes. We always fished in the river around Fresno when I was growing up. We would bobber fish in still pools and catch blue gill and crappie. They were so delicious. I too cleaned my fair share. Karla in Cali.

[@charlotteweasner-hall9801]

what a great meal. I will make hushpuppies like you did.

[@wilfbentley6738]

You know you don't have to filet brook trout, just head and gut them, dredge them in flour and pan-fry them (in bacon fat). The meat peels away from the backbone, fins & ribs leaving you with a perfectly safe - and delicious - meal. The skin gets crispy and delicious because there are no scales! That's the method that has come down the generations of my family for over 100 yrs. Jeepers, I haven't had speckled trout in a hundred yrs. I gotta find a source now.

[@carollyngillespie3860]

Never thought of making a corn pone instead of puppies. Looks easier. A lot easier.

I can't remember if I've shared this with you or not...if so, here I go again! HA My uncle owned a resort in Grand Lake OK and we would go down there several times a year. On year we caught around 100 fish (bass, crappie) and this man asked dad if he was going to fillet them. Dad told him he didn't know how, so the man showed him and they got them all filleted. Come to find out the man was a SURGEON! No wonder he was so good at it. He told mom how he made them...pancake batter and 7UP. It was the best fish we ever had.

Our 14 year old granddaughter is very good at filleting fish. Her grandpa cuts the head off, guts them, and then she takes over with an electric knife. Nothing better then fried fish. We coat ours with Andy’s seasonings. Our Walmart sells a couple varieties.

[@norencenelson8111]

Maybe it's my Scandinavian heritage but, I could eat fish for breakfast. The plate of garden goodies was always there at our fish fry. We called it rabbit food. The potatoes are great like you fix them, Tipper. We sometimes shake some parmesan cheese on them. Slaw always is good at a fish fry. One thing that my granny always put in her "fish slaw" was yellow salad mustard. We're gonna have to try the hush-puppy corn bread. What a feast. Matt cooks and seasons food like I do.
