I will admit I bake my catfish. In my case I'm a lazy bastard and I hate the cleaning after frying.

FWIW, what we fry catfish in today is not what we fried catfish in growing up. As example, it may say Crisco on the label but it is not the Criso from the pre ESPN years. Just like the Oreoes you grew up with were made of beef suet I am pretty sure they make Oreos with something even cheaper and worse for you.

The crisco I grew up with was white and you needed a spoon to get it out. It was thicker than mayonnaise but not as thick as cream cheese right after you take it out of the fridge. That is what you fry catfish and chicken in.

My grandmother used pure lard.

When they were younger it came directly from rendered stock, and in their later years she used to buy it.

Absolutely delicious, and I refuse to believe it was ever "unhealthy" — in fact, I think it's making a comeback.

But are you saying it's different now?
