Frying foods in hot oil sears the outside surface, sealing flavor inside. Shallow frying, as opposed to deep-frying, uses a relatively small amount of butter or other oil product. Fish benefits from shallow frying as the hot oil imparts a deep golden color, improving the flavor and making a nice presentation to your lads who are tiered and ready eat after a long days work. this recipe that i will be sharing with you is one of my favorites. first thing you will have to know is that I am feeding 13 people so i will be telling you in that size. 1: you will need about 12-15 8 pounder catfish this fish is the best for this occasion. slice each one into pieces about wrist to to marriage finger. Keep these to the side for now, but not for long cuz the flies will get a feast before you do. 2: get about 25 table spoons of salt into the biggest bowl you got. then add 7 hand fulls of oil into the bowl. 3: add 2 sticks of butter and one average size loaf of bread this could be acorn bread if you want. but remember to crumble before adding. 4: the last step is to add 7 eggs this could be chicken eggs or any wild bird you come across. 5: heat mixture over camp fire and mix constantly will being heated. this step is for melting the butter and all the other ingredients. 6: dip your fish strips into the mixture, then lay on a hot pan over the fire. you can also pour the leftover mixture wile cooking the fish. after about 5 minutes flip the fish and lay for another 2. when fully cooked you are ready to serve and make some happy campers happier!
