Southern Fried Catfish

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

One of my favorite fresh water fish. Looks good Mark

[@johnlebzelter4208]

When my buddy Russ Jones says it “looks good”, you know it’s one kind of a great one Mark!! Nice cook brother.

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks! Definitely means something coming from you!!

[@rowef]

Yes yes yes!

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks!

[@HB_Westies]

Gonna try this on some speckle trout

[@andrewmcallister3903]

I have to try this!!!

[@AdrianLGreen]

Can’t wait to try that recipe!! Thanks!!!

[@gerardjohnson2106]

You'll never beat that Morrison's yellow cornmeal for a fish fry breading. It is fine ground, great flavor and holds tight.

[@williamcarr4170]

Another great video Mark! The only thing missing was cornmeal in a paper sack LOL

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks!

[@skwerlee]

Love some fried catfish

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

You and me both!

[@kbh657]

Awesome recipe mark!

[@AdamS-nv5oo]

Fried catfish is underrated, at least here in mn

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Very Much So!!! It is probably my favorite fish!!

[@johnmcelreath9406]

Thank you good times

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks!

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

Dude, that looks SO good. I'm trying this one for sure.

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks! Congrats on the calls at the competition! That Brisket looked great!

[@GulfCoastSmoke]

@@SwineLifeBBQ Appreciate ya! I'm definitely happy for it only being our 2nd competition but still so much we can improve on I think!

[@johnc2144]

Thanks Mark. I've been looking for a catfish recipe. Yours looks great

[@Railroad_Bbq]

That looks so good! Even though I dip the fish in a vodka ketchup mix.

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

That fish looks excellent!

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks!

[@ronrichardsonjr.6330]

Man I gotta catch more catfish this summer

[@IAMElsLife]

[@tonydancefit]

Awesome video!

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks!

[@tonydancefit]

@@SwineLifeBBQ No my friend. Thank YOU for everything you do. I loved the crawfish video that you and Malcolm did.

[@LabH2ODawg]

That catfish looks so good Mark.

[@BTS2017.]

Would love to see an outdoor kitchen walkthrough video!

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

I have been thinking about it. May have to knock one out soon.

[@redstone5149]

I loves me some catfish ❤️

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

You and me both!

[@carson54444]

Looooove me some fried catfish. Try the same recipe for trout and you won’t be upset

[@carson54444]

Well I just watched the whole thing and that’s exactly what you said!

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Haha!! Thanks!

[@chrisberry3146]

That’s an awesome recipe!!! Going to be frying some catfish soon! Thanks Mark!

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks! Let me know what you think!

[@jamiet9254]

Great video!! I gotta try it!

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks!

[@9929kingfish]

Looks great. I like my catfish whole and eat it right off the bone. Salt and pepper with 50/50 corn meal and flour mix.

[@OutdoorsWithGeoff]

Nice cook my man!

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

I appreciate it

[@MichaelRei99]

Of all of the great things I’ve seen you cook this might be my favorite!! I’m going to find out where you live and move next to you!!!

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

HAHA! This is one of my favorite meals as well!

[@scrappy1431]

Awesome! You mentioned following trout with that recipe. Do you skin your trout or leave the skin on when you fry it? Thanks. Love y’all’s recipes!!!

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Usually the skin is removed. I also slice it into smaller strips to get it even more crispy. Works out great! Thanks!

[@YummyFoodSecrets1]

❤❤💞❣👍

[@billyrogers8384]

I need a BIG plate of fried KITTY! LOL Looks great!

[@richshackelford5793]

Looks delicious Mark

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks!

[@danielrichards2580]

Looks good Mark , what kind of Fryer was that. And where did you purchase.

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

It is a Bayou Classic. We purchased it directly from them. Its a great fryer.

[@danielrichards2580]

@@SwineLifeBBQ thank you, you guys do a great job . Maybe one day I can meet you all and watch you guys cook . And ask a bunch of questions.

[@danielrichards2580]

But I love my Outlaw Patio model, maybe looking for the next size bigger.

[@MojoBarbeque]

Been waiting all day for this.

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks!

[@haroutsatelyan127]

On My July 4 Menu Thank You Sir

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks!

[@mzungu1970]

what works well as an alternative to catfish ?

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Really any white fish. Trout, sea bass, pan fish, crappie, etc.

[@Boomerfootball1]

You need to do a bluegill / panfish recipe!

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

That would be a good one for sure!

[@brianschneider671]

Oh yeah, brutha! 👊🏻🔥🇺🇸💯

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks!

[@24kachina]

Wow that looks good. What fryer brand set up is that?? Awww - I see - never mind - Bayou Classic.

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks! Yes, its a Bayou Classic. Really impressed with it.

[@johnmcelreath9406]

What kind of cooker you use

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

It is a Bayou Classic. It is a great little fryer. We should have a video on it on the "Out The Smoke" Channel next month.

[@subscriber-sz2ii]

Looking good Mark!

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks!

[@timothymcmiller3333]

Back in the 1980s😂

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

HAHA!

[@justinmelanson88]

Where did you get that cooling rack that fits in the pan?

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Any restaurant supply should have it. I ordered these form How To BBQ Right.

[@Dylan1094]

How do u like that cooker???

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

I really like it. The stainless makes it really easy to clean and hold temp great!

[@robertaguirre2857]

What would you change if instead of fish you used shrimp?

[@24kachina]

Wait, no hush puppies? No chips??

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Oh we had plenty of sides. Just wanted to focus on the recipe for this one.

[@davef1788]

What fryer is that?

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Bayou classic. I was really impressed. It did a great job!

[@davef1788]

@@SwineLifeBBQ Thanks

[@b1dodge]

Looks awesome but where is the cheese grits?

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

I’m still working on that recipe. Me and grits do not get along lol. I love them tho!! Thanks!

[@b1dodge]

@@SwineLifeBBQ Keep them wet. If you over water them they will come back quick. Butter all the while. SPG of course. Velveeta is the only way to make proper southern cheese grits. Key is keep them loose. They will take all the butter, salt, pepper, garlic, and cheese and come to the right texture. Your catfish is absolutely on point. We live out west now but will never give up out roots. Thank you for allowing us to stay home while not being home.

[@timr0by]

You get that black crap off your catfish, it'll taste a lot better. My dad always rubbed it off the meat at the cleaning station at the lake before we bagged it up. Makes a huge difference.

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Never really noticed it much. Definitely try to remove the blood line in the bigger filets.

[@boydtravis296]

You should have showed breaking a piece in half and showing the meat of the fish up close!!!!

[@HARLEYMLM1966]

You left out , don’t steam your camera lens

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Gotta get the shot lol
