Yes indeed! That Felton run with the spin move in the 3rd was a thing of beauty! Go Browns! I fry cats southern style with cornmeal instead of bread crumbs or panko after an egg and buttermilk wash with a dash of tabasco. Next week Browns play the Bears and looks like Fields might start. The conflict!🤪

I went to OSU but I bleed orange and brown. Born and raised in Cleveland. No conflict here. Hope Fields does well in his next game this week he’s meat!

I’m certainly no expert but I really like Hank Shaws beer battered fish recipe. Check him out on “honest food.net”. He’s got exceptional recipes for fish and game.

We soak them in buttermilk and egg overnight then use cornmeal and baking powder to fry….

Serve with a few squirts of lemon juice, cole slaw, hush puppies, hot-buttered corn on the cob, a tall glass of lemonade...yum!

I use zatarains fish fry Dunk em eggs then in fish fri then in fryer. Yum yum if u like a thick batter like captain D mix egg and fish fri to make a wet batter.

forrest r Loc: NE ohio

zatarains is always good!!! We do +/- 20# fish fries with zatarains and perch, walleye, catfish or any combo of them.

At home I like to do my own mix:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup corn meal
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon of black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, hot pepper flakes

If you want a puffier batter add 1 teaspoon of baking powder. 1/2 cup of this mix will do 1/2# of catfish.
