3 lb "fresh" catfish
1/2 c Cornmeal
1/2 c Flour
2 Eggs, beaten
12 Pack of beer (brand of your
Liking)
1/2 c Minced onion
3 c Vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Absolutely the best catfish you can eat, make sure you have plenty of beer left after you make the batter. In a medium mixing bowl blend flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper together. In a separate medium mixing bowl beat egg well, add 1-12 oz. can of beer and minced onions, mix well. Cut the catfish into 2 inch cubes or strips. Heat up the shortening or vegetable oil. Roll the cat into the flour mixture, then dip into the beer-egg mixture, then back into the flour mixture. Place flour and dipped cat into the deep-fry, cook until golden brown. Since you have 11 more cans of beer left "now" will be a good time to get started on the rest of the 12 pack. Serve up the cat with tarter sauce, ketchup, or just like it is. Make sure you add a little tossed green salad, french fries, or some hush puppies for a delicious meal.
