take a big cast iron skillet get it hot...put some lard in it
fill the skillet up with fish eggs...brown them, then dump a huge bowl of beaten chicken eggs over the browned fish eggs...
make 8 pieces of toast in the broiler...make sure there is one bright yellow spot in the middle. the rest of the toast should be brown and dry
wash this tasty meal down with pabst blue ribbon
braaaaaaaaap
Fish eggs, aka "caviar" are not exactly trailer trash food...... ;-)
Never served it with eggs. I generally do it with cream cheese but this year for new years, I mixed red caviar with sesame seeds and coated a cheese log with it. ;-) Sorry, no pic.
The part goers appreciated it.
Cheers! -- Om.

Did you have to nail these fish to a tree and pull their skin off first?
There used to be a joke where I use to live about some folks cooking their chickens in motor oil, but I'm not so sure someone could survive animal meat deep fried in a petroleum product.

Hey, that's catfish and that is good eating! They are scavengers but so are blue crabs, and they are good eating too. (Present conditions of the Chesapeake bay aside ...)

ever notice when there is a tornado it only hits trailers

I read or heard a while back that had something to do with heat, convection, and the trailer's construction. I have no idea the connection, but I bet motor oil cooking generates hi heat. Hmmmm......

I have to disagree about catfish :P The stuff my nephew catches in South Carolina tastes like mud *blech*. Part of it may be a mental thing - I grew up in Michigan, knew a lot of people that fished - I didn't know anyone that would eat catfish. It was a "trash" fish and got thrown back. I haven't had farm raised - that may be better. (apparently they are fed on the top of the water so that they don't eat the bottom "garbage"😉 I do find that where fish lives does make a difference in taste. I haven't found any fresh water fish in the south that I like. I grew up eating fresh water fish in Michigan *shrug*. I love Walleye yummmmm - man I miss that stuff. Perch are good too.

Are you sure about that? I don't know anyone who considers a perfect-size catfish "trash." And farmed is worse because of the farming conditions. Fresh-water catfish from an unpolluted river shouldn't taste muddy or fishy at all - it's great.
Walleye are good, too - I have some in the freezer from Canada. I never eat farm-raised fish if I can help it - I don't eat fish from the Great Lakes, either, if I know that's where it came from. I love Pacific salmon, but most of what we get here are Atlantic.
If you never go to a southern fish fry, with fresh-caught catfish, you're missing a good feed. ;-)

It's true, it's an observed fact that plastic pink flamingos attract tornados.

Hi Roberta in VA
If you want some REALLY good catfish, check out City Point in Hopewell VA There's a park where Grant was HQ'd, and the water is at least 75-100' deep there...
(it's right in the manors backdoor, you can't miss it) it's where the james and rappahannock meet at a point in the city city point.
They almost taste sweet, the water is super cold that deep plus the cats are super healthy, they put up a really good fight.

I am - I searched the internet and couldn't find anything that says it's common practice but really, I didn't know ANYONE that at Catfish until I married my husband and moved to the south...
I did find an interesting article about certain fish in the great lakes that are considered too dangerous to eat do to the high PCB levels...Catfish is one of them. Maybe that is why noone I knew eats it lol
