Here are some recipies I got from a friend. I thought y'all might like them.
Carefully add the catfish fillets to the hot oil; fry until crisp and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove from the skillet; drain on paper towels. Serve immediately over the following tomato and field pea mixture.
Tomato-Field Peas:
• 4 cups ripe tomatoes cut into 1/2-inch pieces (variety is good, use a mixture of heirloom and cherry varieties for an interesting presentation, both on the plate and the palate)
• 1 1/2 cups blanched field peas (such as butter beans, black or pink-eyed beans and or snap beans cut in 1-inch pieces)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup torn basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions For the Tomato-Field Peas:
Put the tomatoes and field peas or green beans in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add basil leaves and drizzle with olive oil. Mix well and taste for seasoning. Serve immediately with the fried catfish fillets.
