Heat peanut oil in dutch oven, cast iron, or deep fryer to 350º.

Personal Notes:
If you're feeling lazy, store bought fish breading works as long as CORN MEAL is the first ingredient, not CORN FLOUR. We like Louisiana Seasoned Crispy Fish Fry the best.

Peanut oil is best but vegetable oil works too.

Take advantage when you're cooking and throw in some Savannah Classics Sweet Corn Hushpuppies (found at most grocery stores) with your fish. Or make your own!

Don't buy Asian catfish!
