If you want to fry it, take a filet and hold down pretty firm with the palm of your left hand, take a very sharp filet knife and cut pieces off at a slanted angle with a downward slice going kind of under the palm of the left hand so that each piece if about the same thickness. Maybe 1/4"-1/2" would be good. You should get a shite load of pieces off a 25# cat.

Mix those with a mustard and La hot sauce mixture, then shake in fish fry of your choice and fry at 350 until they float.


this...when prepared that way they're good as fresh verret market cats...

I would add the step of soaking the filets in milk and hot sauce before frying


Or buttermilk/hot sauce, mustard/hot sauce, just a matter of personal preference.

Like others have said, get rid of the damn bloodline. I had a 50# bluecat that we kept pretty much all of the “filet”. Tried to blacken parts including the bloodline and I had to end up throwing it away. Nasty.

I like the mustard-hot sauce-lemon juice- milk concoction on the side of the zatarains mardi gras box as the wet dip, then into the dry mix, then into 360 peanut oil.

The acid in the mustard and lemon juice makes the milk thicken up like a custard if you make it an hour ahead of time and put in fridge. It results in super crunchy fried fish and is the best I ever had.

Works work really good for making that thick batter is just a can of regular beer, no milk. That will make a thick batter. I use it for onion rings and they come out awesome.
