I take and cut my fillets up into sizes about the size of 2 fingers. They cook quickly that way and have a nice crust all around.
I like to take and put em in a bowl and shake and mix a cup or so of Texas Pete in them and let it sit in the fridge for about 30-60 minutes. Then take and shake em in a bag with House Autry Fish Seasoning and then into the frying pan. Usually I'll take some course yellow corn meal and put some into the House Autry..it gives it a nice crackly crunch.
That gives you a kinda hot/spicy/crunchy mix.
I've eaten blue cats up to 30 pounds or so with no problems. Occasionally I put em in fish stews and they work great in them also.
