that sounds good Slabmaster, but Sinker don't care fer that spicie stuff, he tought me to do catfish like he likes it.
take the catfish chunks and dope them into a bowl with egg and milk mixture, coat good, them roll the chunk in fine crakker crumbs, set aside on a plate till you got a skillet full.
I use a iron skillet, half full og vegie oil. get the grease good and hot, carefully drop the chunks of fish into the skillet, when it floats, turn if over till golden brown, I take it out and put it on a thick layer of paper towles too soak the extra grease off. serve with fried taters & onions. Sinker tells me those are good vittles.
