C. F. C. E. CATFISH (catch, fillet, cook and eat)

This is really good if you like fresh catfish. As fresh as it gets - Nothing beats it. I have done this, and it rocks. Kicks some serious taste buds ass. If you dont have the guts to try this, try to boil your catfish fillets at home in beer. If you like catfish, I guarantee you will love it.
IT IS ALL THAT WITH A BAG OF CHIPS

Ingredients

2 Catfish fillets, 2 Empty beer cans, small fire, 1-2 beers. (salt and pepper if desired)

PREPARATION

1. Fillet your fish as you catch em, cutting away all yellow spots of fat and bone, and rinse and soak them in a COLD COLD COLD beer, until you are ready to cook them (The alcohol in the beer acts as a cleanser and is better than water and salt.)

2. Prepare your empty cans. You will cook your fish in these, so keep them clean. With the drinking hole up, cut an I-shape in the can. It should look something like this.

Now fold back the 2 flaps. Now Poke a hole in the bottom of the can with your knife, so you can get a coat hanger or small stick all the way through the can.

3. When you are ready to eat, simply fill the can as much as possible with beer, and drop in your fillet. Place your stick through the can and place over fire. The beer should start to boil. When the beer has boiled out, add more beer, and let boil out again. Your fish is ready to eat. Season to taste. ( Mc Donalds salt and pepper packets are great for this)
