Dixie Fried Catfish image

A delightful recipe from the Southern USA. No wonder fried catfish is considered a staple food "down south"; it's delicious! Serve with hushpuppies, coleslaw and pitchers of sweet tea. Finish with a traditional sweet potato pie, and you'll have yourself an authentic Dixie meal.
