    Hi, I want to try a CC. After my wife caught one on LW yesterday, it reminded me that I need some advice for cooking it. Do you have a recipe that you would share?

    I have cooked (pan fried) Catfish in Texas, but I think these ones are not channels and raised in ponds.

    thanks

    Dave

    This...

    I haven't kept a catfish for over 10 years but that's how I used to do em. The family actually preferred them over walleye.

    Skin them, cut into steaks and then fry using corn meal.
