Another recipe that my grandfather used. He loved to fish and his favorite was catfish. Each summer he would have a fish fry and invite all his family and friends.
Catfish Recipe:
Ingredients:
1/3 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 teaspoon parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1 pound catfish fillets
1 egg, beaten
3 tablespoon oil

In a shallow dish, mix cornmeal. Old Bay, parsley and garlic salt.
Dip fish fillets one at a time, in beaten egg. Coat with cornmeal mixture.

Old Bay Seasoning has been around for over 70 years. It is made out of Maryland. It is great to use for catfish.
