Fried Catfish

[thegreeensky]

nice recipe... that looks awesome.. will try try this by this week :)

[shogunMR]

Dave is awesome

[BornRandy62]

I put some big catfish fillets on my wood smoker grill along with some whole mild red and yellow peppers. The sweet variety that didnt have as much heat. I put them in there with some country style ribs. basically baby roasts about 2 inches thick. I used McCormicks Montreal Chicken seasoning mix on everything. Worked out out great. Leave the fish in there until you think it has enough smoke. I took it out after 30 minutes

[UNEEKMONIQ]

He's hilarious. making me hungry.......What does dill weed do?

[CyprusShu]

WHAT NO italian seasoning?! Big Dave Love UR channel U R the worlds greatest Chef wiv the straight 2 the point approch to great food & the great southern accent love UR website 2. keep up the great work & post sum more recipes plz

thanks Stellios

[insk8terz10]

river catfish or pond catfish =P

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

the trick to marinating or like this in buttermilk, catfish with buttermilk always, to pat dry off the fish and once added to whatever liquid it needs to bathe in, freeze it till JUST solid. let it defrost for like 10 mins, itll be easy because its basically just hit 32 when you froze it so all warming is immediately latent heat. repeat freezing step and defrost until just a little under room temp.

[fog1frog2]

good video :D very nice.

But i have 1 question, if you cook so much who eat it? Sry for bad english iam from germany.

[Tachira]

Your ingredient in this vid is great, very informative now when I got some catfish fillet or any fish similar to it, I'll try this as an ingredient

[SWIFT95330]

Ooh, OOh, Fried Catfish...Haven't had that in a while...got any froglegs?

[skoggit]

Hey Dave, You fry the fish just like my mother does, I fry mine in a deep fryer but I don't use the milk I just coat the fish in seasoned corn meal and deep fry them. Looks just like when mama made it! Take Care!

[norton560]

Dave, your food looks great and you are highly entertaining! You really should be on Food Network!

[ToadsMGodes]

7:55 ..lol

[Miss333Claw]

ever tried ur own catch? that way you are able to leave the back tail fin and cook it. (some like all the fins) not good for kids though. where the fin is delicious fried up you cant bite too far or it is bone.

[Omarv8power]

AWESOME VIDEO... hasnt hungray until i got towards the end.. hahaha

[ChaChaDave]

[mred6554]

this video is making me regret throwing back the catfish i caught last night....

[1faSStchevy]

My first time frying catfish last night went great! Everyone loved the recipe. Going out to the lake to get some panfish and do this again.

[iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa]

Not so sure about the dill. I'll have to give it a shot.

[loadi2]

[seantoma]

For those whom live in san Diego go to tha Imperial Fish market for the best Catfish , jumbo shrimp, Oysters in San Diego by FAR !!!

[iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa]

@seantoma Its good but have you eaten at miguels ???? Man they have the best fried kalamari EVER!!!

[annettemint]

Haha he's so country. I love it. My mama adds a little flour to her cornmeal. Your a great cook.

[damned1z]

yes ,,,eating wit bread and alot of garlic :D and more then alot beer :D

[cookiesandcartoons]

Can one do anything with the frying oil or does it just go in the toilet?

[GeronKizan]

some facilities will pay you for the oil. it is used for biodiesel......you know you can do it yourself with the oil.

[Huba588]

I never dispose of it down the drain.

I just wait until it cools and pour them in tripled shopping bags.

Then I toss it in the trash.

I just feel uncomfortable about pouring this stuff into our oceans.

[haxproductions1]

Great job, Dave!

[smalltownkid2004]

Just got finished frying some cat fish... I'll be damn if it isn't great!!!! Thanks dave!!

[thesnake32]

I follows step by step with my laptop as i cooked and it the words of you "It was GOOD!, it fryed GOOD!, and it tasted GOOD!" That dill weed did the trick

[xCarxMellax]

damn that looks might fine

[pisssss123]

i am cooking this right now in my kitchen lol i had to bring my laptop in there to watch the video while im cooking so i dont miss a step :-P right now im heating up my oil while soaking the catfish in some milk great recipie dave thanks :D 5 stars

[MUZZYOUTDOORS]

THATS SOME GOOD COOKING BUDDY

[ShortStoriesByRyan]

man, if that fish tastes as good as it looks, you just might be the world's greatest chef.

[ILUV2SING2005]

yum-o making some tom night for my bday i love fried fish!keep up with your vids lu them very useful

[chAL111777]

wouldthis recipe work for any type of fish

[jaybobed]

Sure, as long as it is white and flakey. I would not cook tune or salmon, but it is great with cod.

[chAL111777]

thaanks man for replying i will try it with some cod!

[PetroniusArbiter2]

@chAL111777 -- A basic light cornmeal batter works well not only for catfish, but also clam strips, bluegill/sunfish, bass, perch, cod... the list goes on and on. Trout is delicate in flavor and texture, so I recommend no batter, quick cooking at lower temps, not much spice. Tuna and salmon as noted are heavy in oil and flavor, and don't do that well with batter.

[TheDomcrit]

@PetroniusArbiter2 Why post this comment? to make yourself look smart? Idiot.

[Iliketorace]

Lol dave your awesome man good job im cookin this trm for me and my lady!!!!

[lowjoker77]

[sharonda59328]

[BigVick26]

[ktrain115]

Dude, you makin me hungerey!!!!!!

[ukspankedyank]

Awesome video Dave.. The British would probably point out they use cod mainly and sprinkle malt vinegar on their chips but man oh man was your catfish lookin good!! Fry you some sweet potato fries sometime..

[DieToW1n]

Going to try this in about an hour!, love the vid man! Favortied 5*****

[strateshootah]

Oops, I meant "Dave".

[jaybobed]

LOL, Its cool!

Dave

[marilyndating09]

If i had a husband like him, i couldnt stop eating. so natural so simple and neat.

[jmalonear]

does your dutch oven not scratch your smooth top stove?

[cycopth1]

u the man.....

[optimoe54]

thanks for the help.

[ramboramen]

i love this guy

[beautyforashes81]

Thanks, another one of my husband's favorites I will try to cook!

[archeeizm]

MMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

[mattsky76]

This guy would be great on the Food Network.

[rheots1991]

dave i have to agree with mattsky76, you would be great on the Food Network

you should seriously think about entering to be on "The Next Food Network Star"

its where ten finalists compete for the biggest prize on TV their own show on Food Network.

i think with all your "maannn its gone be gooddd!!!" and "I am the world's greatest chef" sayings you could be big

i know i would watch it every day. i like how everything is so simple.

just a thought =]

- alex s

[ramboramen]

i agree

[strateshootah]

I agree also....Jay should be on t.v.

[89CoutureBarbie89]

@mattsky76 yeah but what would be the point? He's basically Paula Deen with balls

[GreatChefs]

Nothing better than a couple food catfish filets! Those look great. Great Instructional video! Thanks for the post Dave!

[crypticjim]

If I keep watching these videos I'm gonna be 400lbs by the end of summer. If Dave was a woman, I'd make him my wife whether he liked it or not. With cooking like this he wouldn't even need to be pretty.

[emmthreejonny]

I like to see you cook outdoors Dave.

[jaybobed]

I have a couple vids on here with me at the grill!

Thanks,

Dave

[childrenofbodom8991]

you sound like dim bag darrel cause yous both have the same accent

[jaybobed]

Who?

[childrenofbodom8991]

hes a muscian from texas hes from the southern band called pantera

[flamingburritos]

makin' me hungraaay!!!

[jacobmusprime]

My mama made some fried catfish tonight and it was GOOD. A friend of my daddy's caught them out of Kentucky Lake today, so It looked good...tasted good...we knew it was gonna be goood. lol. I'd luv 2 see how you make hush puppies. Are you for or against onions in hush puppies? Hush puppies with green onions in them are gooood. My mama makes good cole slaw. She makes the dressing with salad dressing, sugar, salt, pepper, celery seed & bread n butter pickle juice..that's the secret. It's goooood.

[slightlychris888]

im going to have to try this

[SouthernGirl4ever86]

I love catfish. I'm from Alabama and I moved to New Jersey 5 months ago. I miss the good southern cooking. People up here don't eat good food like were used to lol

[rss22]

I just cooked some catfish nuggets, hush puppoes, and crockpot spagehtti...yummy it was good. That putting milk on the catfish helps the cornmeal stick just right. Y'all better try it. Dave knows what he's talking about.

[DJas118]

Pretty sweet! I have all these ingredients, so I think I'm going to make this for dinner tonight. Will definitely come back and tell you how it was!! :-D ~DJ

[LightxEdge]

I wonder if Dave is married.

His wife is probably awesome.

[1knightstand007]

yummy...watching this made me hungry again!!!

[stuart556]

hey dave, i have an idea, how abouts making a broth or some more soup recipes?

[oogp]

man that looks great and I wish I could eat that tonight :D

[BaronVonGodzilla]

Hell yes!

[foxgirl100]

Don't mess with Dave's skills. I tried this over Easter & my whole family were beggin for more. yum yum!

[ryvetted]

Thanks Dave!

[WarewolfOne]

Looks great and u crack me up.

[therixon]

Another great video Dave! Thanks for sharing it. The cornmeal looks like a great alternative to seasoned flour or batter. Do you use it just for catfish, or could it also work for cod, pollock etc..?

[coolanddark]

Nothing better in this whole world than fried fish. Although I like anything deep fried. This is a mighty fine Catfish recipe!

[marrbrtrs]

Looks good U arefunny!!!!!

[sandymane]

Hey Dave, we're getting hungry for something new out here. Can you help?

[TiffanyJ1985]

Great Vid's.. should try out for the food net work channel, bet you could..

[lumix239]

Dave is beast

[scottswoman81]

did you catch them yourself?

[Ajeel06]

Dill Dill Dill

[Brownslocksmith]

Bro... your awesome. I almost cried in this video, then i realized that I had just cut onions lol. I always used flour for fryin' Catfish, should of thought of the cornmeal. Very nice, thank you for the info.

[mitrooper]

Nice video, Dave, but you should try to upload your videos in HD instead.

[jaybobed]

I dont know how?

[dickie5656]

I made your baked beans for my girlfriend.

I was in big trouble before that...but I think you got me a stay of execution.

Also cooked up the country fried steak and it rocks !

Keep the recipes coming !

[Jak3Mac]

Can you make me some food?

[Deathbydruid09]

lol "dilweed" nice vid dave

[sandymane]

i'd rather watch this guy than that fag emiril that douche is annoying

Well then just watch Dave and STFU. Every one has a different style and you should be here to learn not entertained.

[again2021]

Does the skillet you use (cast iron and what not) make the difference in good fried fish? (Thanks Dave)

[jaybobed]

No, I just prefer cast iron. But any pan that will handle the heat wil work.

Thanks,

Dave

[EPILEPTICFUN]

What kind of oil are you using?

[jaybobed]

I use vegetable oil.

Thanks,

Dave

[darkrobroy14]

i'd rather watch this guy than that fag emiril that douche is annoying

[jst2k09]

Now be nice. Emril is a successful man. Dave should have a show too, but no need to be stupid

[Gorlokk666]

mmm catfish and salmon

[nino5ugljesa]

hehehe i´ts gonna be gooooooooooood:)

[ClothoidDoll]

mmmm, i loooove catfish! I fried some up once and I kinda failed, but it was still good

[LibbyKino]

I love your Southern style cooking, Dave! Makes me feel right at home, I miss Carolina so much! Your chicken n dumplings recipe is the best, and this fried catfish looks YUUUMY!

You ever consider signing up for that Next Food Network Star show?  You'd wipe the floor with the competition!

[njxxxchamp]

doesn't frying fish defeat the purpose of eating fish as a healthfood? lol

nice video!

[JoeCanucks]

damn that looks good.

[ankstarr]

My boyfriend has a strong desire to learn how to cook and I believe your videos are perfect for him. Thank you for posting.

[sandymane]

Heh heh. I first saw this guy on nicovidya, nice little parody dub.

Huh?

[SpeedKing408]

I just discovered your videos today dave im subscribing =D

[becky4750]

That looked GREAT, Im gonna go out and get me some fish today. Thanks

[Physhi]

Heh heh. I first saw this guy on nicovidya, nice little parody dub.

[tonytwotime]

WOO!

[itachi9000]

mmmmm thanks some good stuff dave always wanted to know how to fry catfish ty :)

[chibomato78]

yes! Catfish! Yummy!

[NguyenThiKhiem]

I work at a Thai restaurant, and I'd be inclined to agree. Even just fried rice is more flavorful than the fried rice at Chinese restaurants (although, I suspect the rice at the Chinese restaurants here is actually American rice).

[DefconBravo]

Switch the catfish for cod and you've got yourself some british Fish & Chips

[JudyByrd19722]

I made the talapia rolled in flour instead of corn mean last night...it worked great. Thanks Dave...

[cheris34]

try rubbin your catfish with some yellow mustard before breading ooooman good grub!

[ColorMeVicious]

yum! you make it so easy :)

[sandymane]

Made your chicken and dumpings for the grandkids last night. They say Dave rocks. I say let's eat. LoL

[sandymane]

They know it's your recipe and you get all the credit. No problem, they do the pots and pans.

[JudyByrd19722]

Dave, I've tried all your recipes and although I've been cooking for 35 years...you have improved on all my recipes. I wonder if I could cook talapia with flour instead of catfish with corn meal??

[jaybobed]

Sure it will be great!! Any white fish will work in corn meal.

THanks,

Dave

[sandymane]

Hey Dave, wanted to say hello but realized you were on a roll. Go Dave.

[jaybobed]

Hey Sandyman,

Just having some fun. Thanks for the visit!

Dave

[1111jony11]

I thought fried foods are fatning

[jaybobed]

And

[1111jony11]

awsome is that you in the vidio

[jaybobed]

Yes it is me?

[jaybobed]

I am Fat?

[1111jony11]

you look fit

[jaybobed]

I weigh 280 lbs, I still look good LOL Because of the greens and the beans I eat!!

[1111jony11]

what do you do for exercise?

[jaybobed]

I dont. I am suppose to walk but I am slack?

[1111jony11]

The first thing I'm going to try is those stuff greened peppers I have never been a fan of fish tho it never taste clean to me. How do you make sure a fish is throughly cleaned

[jaybobed]

You wash it off and then fry it?

Dave

[K4hl4n4mnell]

The only things missing are the hush puppies and cole slaw. Otherwise, it's just like the family fish fries we used to have every summer. :)

[sickoflogin]

You need to open a restaurant!

[Dobsessed]

Can you use the same process (milk & Cornmeal) with other fish like Cod?

[jaybobed]

Sure, It works for cod!!

Dave

[chorne2k]

Would I need to do anything different if I prepared the nuggets in a deep fryer?

[jaybobed]

I think that the corn meal will wash off in the oil.  give it a try and let me know?

Dave

[Faztlan]

You`re the BOMB Dave hit me up if you`re ever in TEXAS!! We`ll have a 72oz Steak Enchiladas, Frijoles con chorizo, Nachos, Spicy Shrimp cocktail, garlic mashed potatoes, lots of broccoli and a cold Corona! Ya Sabes Carnal!!

[jaybobed]

Hey Man!! Sounds good to me!! I am coming your way this summer!! Going to see my Bro in Dallas!!

THanks,

Dave
