CATFISH CAKES

Catfish Cakes image

These cakes are crispy on the outside and moist and flavorful on the inside-a real treat! I like to serve them with hush puppies and coleslaw. I developed the recipe to put to good use all the catfish we catch at our lake cabin. -Jan Campbell, Hattiesburg, Mississippi
