Kevin, Hello sir I just found your channel, I have watched you on PBS for years. Hope your still cooking and can't wait to see more of your videos. God Bless

My son lives on a private lake (maybe 8 houses on the entire thing) and it is loaded with all kinds of fish. My daughter in law caught 53 catfish a few weeks ago. I love catfish. I do want to try your fry mix though. I haven't found one like my grandmother used and I never thought to ask her before she passed away. Hopefully yours will be the one. Thanks for sharing.
