IMO the simple things are the best things in life. . It doesn't take much for me to be happy. :)
One of my favorite meals has to be catfish and hushpuppies. That's all I need, no other sides, no plates or forks. Just catfish and hushpuppy fingerfood.
I cut up the catfish into bite sized nuggets, mix cornmeal, flour, salt and cayenne for coating.
Used my fancy Bass Pro fish batterer. It really is handy if you have a large amount of fish to coat. Usually I just use a baggie.
made some hushpuppy batter...
set up the cooker ...heated the oil...
fried the hushpuppies til golden...
That was it. A simple supper...
I enjoyed the meal, makes me glad that I have an addiction to fishing. :)

I love fried catfish, too. Now we just need to find a place to fish that I don't feel like I'm taking my life in my hands (or feet!) when I fish there. ;-)
Have a great weekend!
you absolutely kill me...you are out enjoying nature and can make perfectly fried breaded food. I am at home and I can make a perfectly fried breaded mess.
Looks good Jeanie. Do you make your hushpuppies sweet or savory? I prefer savory.
Looks pretty delicious Jeanie. Simple cooking is about the only way I do it.
lol Linda that sounds scary! Hope you find a safe place to fish. :)
hahaa Keith! I bet your fried bread is delicious. Good to see ya, thanks for stopping by. :)
Bill thanks! I prefer savory too. :) The onions and jalapenos in them kick up the savory flavor a bit.
Thanks for stopping by!
Hey Mark, how in the world have you been? Your "simple" way of life is what everyone should try. You've got it made. :)
Good to see ya! :)
One of my favorite things to do as well. chicken wings and a bag of french fries with my fryer set up next to the campfire. Bones go in the firepit!
Bushman those wings sound great! Not sure why I haven't cooked them more often, I love em.
Thanks for the reminder. :)
Ahhhh that looks SO good! I usually fry stuff in plain flour- haven't tried cornmeal before. Going on a camping trip this weekend, wondering if I can't heat up oil over a fire??
G'day again Jeanie, good to see you're getting back into the swing of things again after whatever mishap you suffered a while back. I really look forward to each one of your posts.
I have a question though: What in the world are these things you call 'hushpuppies'? Over here Hush Puppies are shoes, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to fry those!
Cheers,...Jon.
Bethany thank you! You can cook fish over the campfire. Here's a link to one of my campfire catfish posts.
Be careful not to get the flame too high though.

Hope you have great luck with them Bethany, thanks for stopping by!
Hi Jon, it's good to see you! I hope all is going well with you. Thank you for the kind comment about my posts. :)
I'm doing much better, thank you for mentioning it. I have been cooking outside a bit more, trying to catch up on things around here too. :)
I think I've heard of hushpuppy shoes too! :)
These hushpuppies are a southern U.S. dish....made of cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, eggs, milk.... I put minced onions, jalapenos and corn in them too.
They are almost like a cornbread (if you are familiar with that.)
I drop spoonfulls of the batter into hot oil and fry until puffy and golden. I have a recipe for them here on my blog, here's a link...

I hope you try them sometime Jon, they are usually served with fried fish. Catfish is my favorite.
Thank you again for the kind comment and for stopping by Jon, it's nice to see you!
Take care...
I've seen one of those breading thingys. It doesn't clump up? Is it dishwasher safe? I usually just use a plastic bag but must admit I am curious! I knew as soon as I saw the title and the first picture that it was a fish fry! woohoo.
It works great Mrs JP, no clumping and it is dishwasher safe. It seems to use less breading too. I guess I make more of a mess of it when I do it myself. lol
Hope you're having a great weekend! :)
