Make quick and delicious fried catfish, a recipe from the classic Hannah Glasse book "The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy".
Ingredients:
4-6 dressed catfish fillets
Salt and hot pepper flakes
Country bacon + drippings (for cooking grease)
White cornmeal (enough to roll the fish in)
Salt
Black pepper
Fresh turnip greens, washed and coarsely chopped
Recipe:
Season the fish with the salt and hot pepper flakes. Season the cornmeal with salt, black pepper, and hot pepper flakes to taste. Melt the fat in a cast iron skillet. Once the drippings are hot but not smoking, deftly roll the fish in the seasoned cornmeal and fry in the pan, about five minutes a side if thick (three if ½ inch or thinner), until the fish is uniformly golden brown. Remove from the skillet and drain well. Wilt turnip greens in fat after fish have fried.
