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....

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less cayenne pepper.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover catfish. I also like to add some chopped green onions and bell peppers to the hush puppy batter.
