FRIED CATFISH WITH TATOES
I LOVE FISH!!! You can't beat fried catfish with fries and coleslaw. I used a electric skillet, with oil and frozen pond raised catfish. Fried them until golden brown and place fries and coleslaw on a platter and went to heaven.

SOUTHERN FRIED CATFISH
Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix buttermilk, water, salt, and pepper. Pour mixture into a flat pan large enough to hold the fillets. Spread fish in one layer over bottom of pan, turning to coat each side, and set aside to marinate.

- Heat oil in deep fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
- Deep fry fillets until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Avoid overcrowding so fillets have room to brown properly. Fish should be slightly crisp outside, and moist and flaky inside. Drain on paper towels.
