Easy Crispy Fried Catfish
"This is a simple and delicious southern fried catfish recipe that I learned from my grandma. This is the same catfish you get in Texas home cooking restaurants, but with less grease.
The measurements are not exact, but are very easy to figure out. Serve hot with tartar sauce. Mmmmmm!"
