How to Clean and Cook Delicious Catfish

[@NurseMickiLea]

My dad would always test the grease with fries and call it quality control but we all know it was just so he had a snack while cooking😂

[@Jp5codforever]

Petersen my dad does the same thing and now I do too lmao But i will say it's better to cook the fish then fries cause it adds to the fries

[@brian-doncrump4689]

Petersen i wish i had a dad.

[@MrJacksjb]

It actually does help, if you have brand new oil straight from the bottle it will not brown the food quite as well. If you cook some fries first you allow some of oil to break down a little which makes the fish brown up better. Good fry places always leave some of the old oil in when they change oil in the fryers for this reason.

[@SilentForest-cs9dm]

watching this made me feel that im close to understand what it must be like to have a family that is normal and loving, without any horrible abuse and stuff. thank you so much for this adventure and kind of allowing me into this house

[@raymondpanek9483]

I've never heard that tip in all my years of fishing. We all have weaknesses and catfish are mine. Dude that is one slick trick I never knew, to dunk, batter, and dump in the oil. That completely eliminated the clumpiness and much better results. Thanks a bunch, keep the tips and tricks flowin'!

[@richarddeleon3558]

I'm Spanish,, and when I look over southern recipes,,man that southern twang makes me hungryer,be it light skin or dark, it's homely and comforting.

[@OrioleFan443]

This video made me feel like part of your family. From arguing about what was better to just hanging out and battling between the generations and sexes, thank you so much for posting this. I just was handed over 20lbs of live catfish and I hope to enjoy them as much as your family did (while freezing others.) You have a lovely family and good luck with the new-born :)

[@carldavissr434]

Cat fish is the best thing to eat, you never get tire of eating it.

[@rl2109]

Everything is better when it's deep-fried! Glad to watch!

[@Brent_m404]

I know everyone has different ways, but I usually cut the yellow out of the meat because it seems to taste better without it

[@bassanglerxxx8444]

Yes sir especially bullheads it tasted like s**t

[@jackmehoff2961]

I do too. Love catfish, but hate that strong taste you get.

[@axeman33333]

That yellow meat is the channel cats. The blues are whiter meat. We throw channels back and keep the blues.

[@yeahokbuddy2510]

@@axeman33333 all we have are channels are here, very few blues in north texas

[@yeahokbuddy2510]

yellow meat tastes fine on the channels, its just fattier

[@billmitchell7731]

Moms style is the best. I like the taste of catfish. Traditional Mom you have my vote 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@keithhobson4839]

I love this ! It reminds me of all the fish fries we've had & the relaxing fun with close family. Hats off Southern brother 🙌

[@justincash1573]

For somebody that doesn't know much about catfish then to go out and started trying to learn and discover is awesome catfish are some of my favorite fish

[@johncrawford9465]

Fillets...franks...and family....doesnt get any better!!!!!

[@JakeNaughtFromStateFarm]

I haven’t fished in at least 20 years and have never gutted/filleted a fish. I’ve got a 9 and 7 year old that want to go fishing. I’m gonna go get some combo rods in the next couple weeks and we’re gonna start. Hopefully it can turn into something like your family has, something I wish I had. Thanks for the tips.

[@Born_Texan]

LFG your so lucky to have both your parents still. My father passed away 20 years ago and I just buried my mother this past Saturday 😔

[@tlahuicolexiii2844]

I hope you are doing ok.

I am sorry. My mom is gone too. It really does not get better.

[@quintenpuckett3399]

BornTexan ! I'm sorry for your loss Sir

[@RockSmithStudio]

Amazing as always! He mentioned flathead catfish briefly at the beginning, but for those who are blessed to catch them, IMO they taste the best. With that said, all healthy catfish taste amazing if done right

[@logans4803]

Use zatarains breading u can buy it at Walmart in the baking aisle...its what alot of restaurants use for catfish and its awesome

[@alecsnyder830]

YES MORE CAT FISHING! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!

[@LeatherNeck1833]

You are the first person that I've ever seen make your cuts before skinning the fish. This technique really interests me in that it seems to be a more efficient process. I will definitely be trying this next time. Thanks LFG!

[@barrettgranger9139]

We do ours in mustard and Louisiana hot sauce then batter in a flour , cornmeal & seasoning mix . yum yum yum

[@TylersFishingPosts]

Why would you, torture us with that delicious food! Lol, it looks soooo good.👍

[@joshuaskorick63]

I would have to agree but still the cutting up of the fish is still a little unappetizing.XD

Right? The catfish looks good too......

[@johnracer13]

Interesting, I’ve never seen it done this way! I’ll definitely have to try it out! We use just some players and pull the skin off first then Fillet the fish, well done LFG

This is the most American video I’ve watched in a while. They say white people don’t know how to cook but you southerners do it just right! I’m so hungry after watching this. I’m ready to get out and start fishing myself🎣

[@MethodistPreacher]

Wonderful! Enjoyed the "family time" cooking. My favorite fish is catfish.

[@kyeraff]

Congratulations on being the first result for cooking catfish. It's quite an achievement, you should be proud of yourself.

[@Greenbackstacker]

I gotta try that Frank's RedHot on fish. It looks delicious. 👍 great vid

[@thereelcatfishkillers]

I've watched alot of filleting videos and this is one of the better ones. He took his time and saved as much meat as possible. I've seen way to many hack jobs on youtube and this guy did a really good job imo. Most videos are "How To Fillet Catfish In Under A Minute" and they just butcher the fish. Nice job. 👏🏿😎

[@OFFFishing]

I love when they take a swim in the ol grease

I'm 26 and the majority of my life I've been without friends, and family not inviting me to anything, also being single for almost my entire life makes it feel worse.

We salt water fish more often than fresh. We catch Gafftop often. I know a lot of people throw those back, not me! I do cornmeal/flour to cook them too. So good!!!

[@teamflanneloutdoors5631]

Thanks for sharing that style of cleaning cats, never seen that before, I'll try it👍 I'll share my favorite fish fry 1 part Andy's "Red" batter mix to 1 part "Trying Magic" batter mix Salt and pepper (or Larry's or garlic salt or lemon pepper) to taste Whisk 3eggs and whole milk to suit (I like my mix still yellow, not white) Frank's hot sauce or Tabasco to taste in the egg/milk bowl Dip fillets in egg mix and dredge in batter mix then release into hot peanut oil (peanut oil has a higher temp rating- burnt oil ruins mother nature's bounty). I also use this for Morel Mushrooms, it is my Moms recipe but I've changed it up over the years adding Andy's, 4-5 dashes hot sauce. For a spicy cagun style a little bit of crushed cayenne pepper adds a lot of clever to the batter. Enjoy Great vid Thanks for sharing!

Exactly... I feel like his fish are going to taste fishy, which I hate because it makes me wanna gag. Wash the hell out of them and maybe wash with some lemon juice.

[@chadschehin7193]

You can also get the fishy taste out by soaking the meat in milk for 30 minites

[@kalebsmith3304]

Chad Schehin okay so I’m typically not a catfish enthusiast but I recently caught two blue cats and I filleted them and skinned em and washed them then tossed them in the freezer so my question is would I be able to soak them in milk after thawing
