re: People who order thin fried catfish when thick is an option

whole catfish with just a dusting of cornmeal is GOD'S GIFT TO US



you shouldn't get your flavor from the breading.

ETA i can pick a damn catfish clean.

* nibble on the end of the crunchy tail
* eat side A, carefully pull the meat out from the bottom bones and get that little bit around the side fins and DONT FORGET to pull that little wedge of meat off the tail fin. thats good eatin'
* flip, eat side B, repeat as above
* with nail of your forefinger push the left and right meat out from top of bone (DELICIOUS!)

you should have nothing left but a pile of bones if you're doing it right and little risk of swallowing a bone if you're careful along the underside meat pockets.


mmmm, meat pockets.
