Catfish n Okra Over the Fire




I was able to get away for a couple of good camp/fishing trips the end of summer. It was nice to be able to relax and I actually caught a few fish.
Before leaving home, I picked what okra was ready in the garden. Decided it would go good with my finger food fish meal.  (pic of a few, I had more already cut up)



soaked in milk...



used a mixture of
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 cup flour
cayenne to taste
salt, pepper and a bit of garlic powder



cleaned a couple of catfish, let them soak in 1/2 and 1/2 while I prepped the coating.





got the fire going and heated some oil in the pot for the okra...


I had more okra than fish, so I started frying it first...


used a skillet to fry the catfish...





The weather was nice that day. It rained a few times on this trip but I didn't mind. It was so nice just being out there.





That was pretty much it. Catfish n okra...




and a cold "MINE" to wash it down. :)


The catfish was white and tender...



It was a nice evening by the campfire...




I caught enough catfish to bring some home for the freezer. They weren't frankenfish, but  they were keepers. :)

Thanks for stopping by!


Still alive and kicking :)





Hope everyone had a great summer!
I was able to get away for a couple of camp trips. Also a week long trip to a music festival in Winfield Kansas. It was amazing!  I'm a fingerpicking guitar player, so it was great to see so many talented musicians in one place.
The veggie garden did well and I was able to can quite a bit. I'm not ready for winter but thinking back... I'm never ready for the cold. :)

Thank you to everyone who sent well wishes and kind messages. I've missed you!!
Hope to get back to posting here. I'm going to skip Photobucket and see if things work out better for me.
Thanks for stopping by!
