Ingredients

Large black pot to fry in.

outside burner

hog lard ( enough to fill half way of your pot.)

3 large brown paper bag

paper towels

1 bag self-risen corn meal

salt to your taste

pepper to your taste

36 whole perch (fish)

Directions

Take off heads and scales an inside guts of fish and wash them with warm water to clean them .

sprinkle salt and pepper onto them.

Place black pot onto burner

pour hog lard into pot

turn on burner let this get hot ( away to tell if oil is hot get a large white tip kitchen match and throw it in ..if it lights up for a second then goes out ...it is ready for frying)

Now you are ready to fry..

Take one of your brown paper bags

pour some of the bag of corn meal into the the brown paper bag with salt and pepper

then add a few of the fish at a time .

close bag and shake this will coat the fish

now take one at a time and place into hot oil do not over load your pot with fish put just a few at a time around 5 to 6.

let them cook until brown or another way if the fish start to float it is time to take them out.

While the fish is frying

take the other 2 brown paper bags and place one into the other for thickness.....place some of the paper towels inside of the bag. to help absorb the oil from the fish.

After fish is cooked place fish inside the bag onto the paper towels and close bag.

this will keep them warm until all the fish is fried. repeat the paper towels in between each frying of fish.

This can be served with a salad or french fries.....
