PRO TIPS
Reheat Fried Foods
To reheat your fried foods, let them come up to room temperature and then bake briefly in a 400-degree oven. Use a wire rack atop a baking sheet to keep too much steam from making things soggy.
Clean Catfish
Be sure to remove the dark, fatty bits from your catfish, as these will carry an especially fishy flavor.
