Fried Catfish

[@donnab5071]

Bout how long you fry those sized fish? Do they start floating to the top when ready?

Until 6 mins after they are floating on top Of the grease I have my oil set at 415-425 degrees I use a deep fryer so, they come out perfect every time. If you want them extra crispy remove and let set over the oil for 3 mins and then drop them back in the grease for 5 more mins

@@beauxraescajunquisine Thank you!!....I have just recently preferred to slice across the filets and create pieces ...each piece about maybe 1.5-2 inches across. My husband likes me to do that....says makes them extra crispy. I do have to cook those less, as they get done quicker . I still fry the full size filets tho,too. Can you believe my deep fat fryer is 72 years old.? Still works perfectly...It even has the original cord which is one of those ancient ones covered in material....LOL, someday I may be electrocuted!!!Things were made to last back then....it is an old German company brand....Dormeyer. The Germans never made junk.

@donnab5071 I pray that it doesn’t fry you like it’s going to fry the fish. Your cut is referred as strips. I fry them the same way. The filets in the video were small so not much to cut. I ate all three that’s how small they are 😂🤣😂😂🤣 Good job on keeping that fryer alive
