  4. Heat peanut oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Recipe Note

One of my favorite fried-catfish recipes when having a fish fry. This is not too spicy and is usually a crowd favorite. Adapted from one of one of my old working buddies in the late 70s. Serve with french fries or onion rings.
