All I could think of is how much I love frog legs. :)
Instead of taking a good flashlight and gig back out to the lake, I visited the local grocery store and picked up a few. (yeah I'm lazy!)
I cut some of my catfish fillets (I caught a few keepers) into nuggets and let them chill in lemon juice for an hour.
Then made a milk, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne bath for the legs..
I let them soak for 30 minutes.
Dipped the catfish nuggets in a cornmeal, flour, kosher salt, cayenne, lemon pepper mix and fried til golden..
Dredged the legs into a flour, kosher salt, black pepper, poultry seasoning mix before frying..
I do not measure the ingredients... I just eyeball it and take a pinky finger taste.
The legs were soooo tasty.....
Maybe not the cutest frog legs I've seen but I loved em! :)

Cute is over-rated. Taste is what counts and yours look great! Thanks for the recipe. This is something I definitely intend to try. :)
I just can not do frog legs. I had them once and just couldn't get the visual out of my head as I was eating them, ha ha.
You are such a great cook. Have you ever considered turning your place into a working vacation ranch where the dude's could help you out, go campong at the lake for a fish fry and have all around great food for a week?
Those look fantastic! I have never seen frog legs at our grocery store :( Our farm pond is loaded with bull frog tadpoles this summer, maybe I can harvest some when they grow into frogs.

You lazy? That's a hoot! How great to have access to froglegs down at the market. I'd have to go to the asian store for mine I sure. They sure look good. Praying for rain....
Dang I get sooo hungry every time ya cook sumthing. Love your blog.
Hi cowgirl! That one fine looking meal!! I love frog legs and catfish!It's been a long time sence me and my dad went out to catch a mess of frogs. It get's kinda interesting with the gaters and snakes swimming around! Next time I go south to see him we'll have to catch a mess:)Funny I've never thought about it till now but how many does it take to make a mess? Any idea? My mom would say it only took one to make a mess in her kitchen!:)Thanks for cooking up some old memories!! hope you have a blessed day! Your friend Mark.:)
Cowgirl, I am so glad you posted about frog legs. My father used to cook for a restaurant and frog legs was one of his specialties. Reminds me of him.
Great batter recipe and awesome looking meal. Thanks for that.
Thanks Linda, I love these things...hope you give them a try sometime! :)
haha Chris. I was so tempted to carve a little body out of something to place at the top of the legs.. They do look a bit odd on the plate. :)
Thanks Chris..
Larry, no way! lol
I've considered selling my place and moving to a tropical island though. (or anyplace with rain) Sure would be nice to see something green. lol
Thanks friend...
Carolyn your pond sounds great! I bet you can find some good sized legs soon. Let me know if you do! Thanks. :)
Thanks David! :) This heat has slowed me down some, I'm becoming nocturnal. lol
That's great that you have an asian market close by. There aren't any in my area.. but I wish there were!
Thanks for the prayers too David. :)
Thanks so much Billy Bob! I appreciate that.. and I appreciate you stopping by. Hope summer is treatin' you well. :)
Haha Mark, Your frog gigging sounds a lot more exciting than mine. No way could I get in the water if I thought there were gators or snakes. lol
I agree with you...not sure how much a mess is but it's always just enough. :)
Thanks for the laugh Mark, hope you have a great night!
Thanks Rueben that's great!! I bet your Dad's frog legs were outstanding. Good cooking seems to run in your family! :)
I like the looks of the fish you've been cooking. Hope to take a closer look as soon as I get the chance. :)

How do you get the Flour to stick to the meat? I have always had a problem with this. I have tried several ideas of drying the meat, soaking the meat in butter milk, etc.
I have this same problem with fried chicken. I do not know but it may be because I pan fry and not deep fat fry.
What do you think?

The frog leg's looks very nice..long time ago that I had those..
Hi Jim!
I have better luck when I double dip. I dip in the seasoned flour and back into the milk bath and then into the flour again.
Then when I pan fry I make sure the bottom is brown before turning them over. Not sure if that helps ya much but good luck! :)
Thanks Jim...
Thank you Marc! :)
They are pretty tasty. I don't have them often but I like em. :)
Cowgirl,
I just started reading your blog, you've got some awesome things on here. I happened to catch your comment about selling your place. Where do you live in Oklahoma? I live in Guthrie, and will be looking for a new house soon.
Thanks Anonymous! I'm in the western part of the state... with the yucca and sage.
it's so hot and dry right now, I'm sure you're catching the same heat in Guthrie.
I won't be moving until I find an affordable island. lol I'm not holding my breath.
Thanks again! :)
