We serve a LOT of Catfish in our little restaurant. I'm really picky about it, too. I have zero culinary training- but I've cooked fish for a lot of years and there are a few secrets. Many folks say our fish is the best they've ever had. Ever. That's somethin' to be proud of.
Here's a part of this weekend's batch that I just cut up. It's why fish TREMBLE when they know I'm around!

Looks good just don't cut my fish steak up in such small chunks please. I can wait the extra 60 seconds in the fryer. lo
It's not about cuttin' them up smaller- it's about having multiple pieces that're the SAME size. That way you can fry 'em up in three different batches (or throw the smaller pieces in after the largest have cooked a minute or so). Important overall- more so when the window is full of orders.

Oh I understand about the cooking of fish in restaurants. (https://i.imgur.com/nzvIoDu.gif) Well that goes for a lot of cooking for public. Have to serve evenly cooked, served fairly quick, and great tasting stuff or bye bye business.
Not to mention I was born and raised where we ate fish, long before the PC crowd decided we was hurting the poor little fishies. ~shade ::) lo
My wife would die for a plate of them Dale. She loves catfish. I like they after Crappie. I can remember when I use to do a lot of catfish and several times have had a bathtub full of catfish waiting for me to clean them after my nap from being up all night catching them. ;D
That PC crowd can kiss my, well-you know. We eat fish. here. And MEAT. Lots of meat and taters. Healthy stuff, ya know.
Here's a basket ready to go out- Catfish, Butterfly Shrimp, Jalapeno Poppers and Hush Puppies. We even do 'Gator sometimes.

Here's how I see it- ya'll come down on the way to the Condo some weekend. We feed you real good. If you can get yer crippled butt upstairs I'll show you the old "woops"house (for real!). Then the next day we go FISHIN'.
Is that a plan, or what?
Too bad I don't like catfish1 The shrimp, Jalapenos, and hushpuppies sure look good though. Some batter fried panfish would be good also!!!

Dale it sure looks tasty ~shade I'll be sure to give you a holler when we come up that way. We have In-laws that live in Rolla. We might be heading up there this Summer.
Would love to have you in, sir!
