Warren: I know exactly what you are talking about and I don’t care for anyone else’s but mine.

At our Reunion, I started off with 5 gallons of cottonseed oil in an 8 gallon cast iron wash pot. I fried 5 gallons of catfish fillets. When I poured the used cs oil back into the jug when I finished, it filled the jug back to the original level. There was not any grease spots on the paper towels in the pans either.

If you fry catfish at 350, in small batches, in cottonseed or soybean oil, and let it drip while in the wire basket, it will NOT be greasy or oily like you are talking about.

Peanut oil hurts me and that’s why we NEVER go out to eat catfish.

The BLALOCK REUNION 2020 is on the Sunday before Memorial Day. Come check it out!
