		---lemon butter---
1/2	teaspoon	salt

2	teaspoons	garlic powder
		---seasoning mix---
1/3	pound	cheap fatty bacon
2	tablespoons	olive oil
4	fillets	catfish fillets

Preparation:

First off, you should cook this in a well-ventilated kitchen. Fry the bacon, then feed it to the dogs and hang onto the grease. Keep it just this side of smoking. Combine all dry ingredients, rub fillets with olive oil then coat liberally with spices. Drop in hot grease and cook until a you can easily put a fork through them (nothing more evil than overcooked catfish). (note: This is a very robust recipe. I have varied proportions by as much as 100%, and left out ingredients entirely, with varying, interesting, but never disastrous effect.)
