Crispy Catfish and Straw Fries

[BrianGSDTexoma]

I like my catfish crispy and spent years looking for a great recipe. I started watching Kent Rollins and seen his crispy catfish recipe a few years ago. Finally found what I was looking for. Its all in the dip. 1 Tbsp buttermilk powder, 1 Tbsp corn starch and 1 tsp baking powder. Mix in 1 cup water. I just pour it in the bowl with the catfish. I have even started using it on other breaded things. Works really good. Also gave Chris_in_SoCal straw fries a try. Big thanks for that. They where great! That food processor Jeff talked me into processed a potato in like a half second! That little bowl is my Grandmothers and makes me think of her every time I use it.

Do you have a deep fryer or pan fry on the stove? Trying to talk myself out of buying one!

Those Presto Fryers work great. I have a oil pan with filter I dump oil in when done. My old GranPappy Electric Deep Fryer still works great and recently bought the Presto 06006 Kitchen Kettle Multi-Cooker/Steamer and very happy with it. They do get hot on outside though.

Nice job Brian, I’d sure sit down to some of that! That bowl I am sure is cherished.

Comfort food for sure love all of that. I’d still fight for it even with all the love. So look out.

Nice work Brian.

Brian, you know we hate fish around here... That looks fantastic and I'd surely destroy a plate of fried catfish...

Looks great Brian. I've yet to unbox my food processor.

It all looks great to me. The only thing bad about those fries is I didn't make near enough. It looked like a lot but they went too fast.

I was just looking back at my earlier post when making the fries and made a comment I should correct now that I took another look. I said that your shredding disk looked upside down. I took a closer look and I now see that it is two sided with rough and fine options.

I am sure you have figured it out by now but if not there it is. The one I have is two sided but one is for slicing and the other for shredding, that is what probably thru me off.

WOW Brian , that looks great. I could go for a feed of that catfish and the fries for sure.

And thank you for the batter recipe. I will try yours, thanks
