  • Catfish brined with Mad Hunky, smoked, battered and deepfried.

    Sounded better than Hillbilly Po Boy.

    I have been after my oldest to share some fish so I could join the masses here. Well fresh salmon is hard to get around here, so he shows up for Sunday dinner with a catfish.

    Between the few pops that I had and the dull knife that I was using, I decided that this fish was destined for catfish nuggets.

    Decided that the MH Rub and Budweiser would make a good brine.


    All peciled up hitting the smoke for a few hours over some hickory pellets


    Had to sprinkle a little MH in the cornmeal. The egg wash was mixed up with beer. My philosophy was why use milk if I have beer. Not sure if that was the reason I did not like the way it was working so I just added some flour to the mix and made it into a batter.


    Forgot to get a picture of them deep frying on the wok sitting on top of the turkey fryer, but this is how they came out.


    And the final result, a hillbilly po boy on fine china

                  I liked it, the flavors, kind of went all over the board depending on the piece, next time I think I will try strips so they are a little more even in thickness. I was a little worried about over smoke, but the Mrs gave it a thumbs up.

                            So what's the safety timing on raw fish? I mean, I like the smoke idea before frying. Just curious. Also, Mad Hunky sounds like it would be really good on some catfish (well, I don't care for catfish so smoke plus MH probably makes it tolerable :D)
                            Oh yeah, for trying something new and saving the batter!
                            I rub it every chance I get!
