NEVER Soak Your Catfish in Milk Again | Try This Old DELTA Fish House Trick

Stop soaking your fried catfish in milk. It ruins the crust before it ever hits the heat. There is a habit that started somewhere, probably on the back of a box, that tells you to soak your fish in milk before you bread it. It is a waste of time, and it makes for a soggy meal. Proper fish prep is all about keeping the surface dry so the breading actually grips the meat instead of sliding off the moment it touches the oil. When you move to skillet cooking, you need heat that is consistent and fat that is clean. I show you how to test the temperature with nothing but a fork and a little patience. The goal is a golden, crispy catfish that holds its own without needing a gallon of dairy to mask the flavor. Uncle Ronnie is a narrated character.
