Beer Battered Catfish
Beer Battered Catfish
From "Soul Food Recipes Learned On A North Carolina
Tobacco Farm" by Willie Crawford
Just like you can deep fry just about anything and make it taste great, you can beer batter just about any fish and make it taste great. Catfish were plentiful in the rivers near my house and beer battered turned out to be an excellent way to cook them. Here's my recipe for beer battered catfish.
Ingredients:
3 pounds catfish (caught or farm raised)
1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cups corn meal 1 small can of beer
1/2 small onion, diced 1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper 3 cups Wesson oil
Preparation:
1. Cut catfish filets into 1 inch chunks
2. Combine all dry ingredients and onion in bowl, mix, and then stir in beer.
3. Drop catfish chunks into beer batter.
4. Heat oil over medium high heat. You can also use a deep fryer with the heat turned to about 375 degrees.
5. Drop chunks of battered catfish into hot oil and fry until golden brown. If using frying pan turn to brown both sides. In deep fryer, it's done when it's golden brown and floats to the top.
6. Drain on a paper towel and serve with rice, hush puppies, cole slaw, iced tea.
