Has anyone ever had a problem with the catfish being rubbery after ya cook it? I'm not sure whats up but they look and feel fine before you cook them, i'ved had it happen when cookin a mess of them. not all are rubbery and they were fixed the same way and caught from the same water .

we do some jugg'n and bank line'n on a small lake near home every summer ..
as soon as i boat a fish i gut them and put them on ice ...
next morning i skin and fillet them ..chunk them up and soak them in salt water for a few hour's ..then i fill my sink up with fresh ice water and cut up a couple oranges and squeeze the juice in the ice water ..after a few hour's of soaking ..we either freeze them in bag's with water or we have a fry ..
we use mcormick beer batter most of the time ..they come out great every time...

If the fillet is rubbery, then you over cooked it. When I deep fry my catfish fillets, I rinse fillets and put in gallon zip lock bag with McCormicks fish fry mix and shake. Deep fry fillets for 4 minutes (no longer unless the fillets are really thick). The key to cooking fish is not to over cook. Fish don't take long to cook at all.
