Son-in-law brought over an ice chest of catfish. Being the middle of April, there was some roe in them. I dusted them with Lawry's seasoned salt and garlic powder and fried them in bacon grease. Ate them. Wished I had looked at this forum before I fried 'em and rolled 'em in flour first. Tasted ok. Someone used a description that it was like eating sand. Well, I kinda agree. The idea of deep frying in olive oil with the rest of the filets sounds good. I try it next time around...
