Ding ding ding!
Catfish is not very good, thus the popularity of the thin fried variety

These people are dumb batter-eaters
Thick fried catfish fillets are the only way to go

I just ate some fried catfish.

One can like the batter AND also enjoy catfish.
That’s the thing. When you get thin there’s basically no fish. Hence my OP

I like thin fried with a light crust. Not too thin, but I don’t care for thick fried pieces.

Nobody likes whole fried catfish? I love it but we always filet it and fry it since the majority of the house likes it that way.

it's best when you cut a big thick piece at a sharp angle so you get the best of both worlds. Thin and crispy on one side, meaty on the other.

If we are talking fish I have the opportunity to catch myself it's hard to beat a blackened flathead steak.

Possibly he/she is the same way about books, movies, music.
Can’t conceive that their way is not the only way.

I realize that thin fried (IE Middendorfs) is mostly batter, but I don't like a thick greasy slab of fish either. I would feel leery of ordering something named "thick" catfish.
Somewhere in the middle is the sweet spot. Locally we have Mandeville Seafood and their fried catfish is money.

Couldn’t stand Middendorffs. Everyone raved about it and to me it was a dud.
Supposedly the one in Slidell is better. I went to the one on Manchac and it was not great. Felt like the grease hadnt' been changed in a decade.

And? Do you have a problem with fried chicken also?

There is a reason catfish is usually served either fried or blackened. It's not the best tasting fish.

What about the catfish strips at Spahr's? that's my favorite. I'm not a fan of whole filet fried catfish
Posted on 4/4/24 at 8:29 am to TackySweater
I like both. 
I do hate when a filet is so thick that it falls apart when you pick it up and I hate when its so thin that the filet is hard as a rock.

Same here. When frying at home, I like to portion the filet into 2 or 3 pieces, slicing at a long angle so that it comes to a point and you have both in one piece.

I much prefer thinner cuts of fried catfish.
I don’t care when it’s paper thin like Middenforfs. They changed something around five years ago and it’s too thin.

I do with a light cornmeal crispy crust. I love the fried fins.

Thick or thin all tastes like ketchup to me

Depends on where it is from. It may not be snapper, cobia, or halibut, but catfish can be pretty tasty if wild caught from a pretty clean river.
