Catfish and Hushpuppy Time

I finally got the chance to cook up a few of the catfish I caught this summer...


Made a batch of hushpuppies too. :)


I add minced onions, jalapenos and corn to the hushpuppy batter....




Seasoned the catfish with a cornmeal mix....



fried til golden....





I used my old home made burner. It's made out of a piece of pipe, expanded metal, the burner from a hot water heater, and rebar for legs....



I ended up using a flashlight while cooking the last couple of batches... I need to put a light up on my patio!




After cooking I cranked up the gas and enjoyed the warmth....




The catfish and jalapeno hushpuppies were pretty tasty!








Now I feel like going fishing again. :)

I suppose there may be a better meal than that, but I can't think of one right now. Everything looks perfectly cooked.

Looks great I love catfish. You don't get much up here in Michigan. Good stuff anyways. I can't remember the last time I had a good hushpuppie. It's a territorial thing I guess. I managed to smoke some chicken wings and then deepfry them the other day. Turned out great. Of course I blogged them.
