Southern Fried Catfish with Hush Puppies image

Southern hospitality just wouldn't be the same with this delicious dish. Every southern woman knows how to fry up a "mess" of good catfish and though there are several recipes for the batter it all boils down to deep frying those babies a deep golden brown. And you can't have fried catfish with the hush puppies to go with it....

The catfish was delicious, but the hush puppies were a bit too salty for my taste.

The catfish was a bit overcooked, but the hush puppies were perfect. I'll try again with a lower cooking temperature.
