The Catfish Fry: a free large-print word search

The Catfish Fry — a free, large-print puzzle soaking in Friday-night tradition: cornmeal-crusted fillets, cold coleslaw, and hush puppies golden from the skillet.

About Food & Home

Across the South, Friday night has long meant a catfish fry — fillets soaked in buttermilk, dredged in seasoned cornmeal, and lowered into a cast-iron skillet until the crust crackles and the kitchen fills with that deep, savory smell. Hush puppies bob alongside them in the oil, and a bowl of creamy coleslaw waits cool and tangy on the table. A squeeze of lemon, a pinch of cayenne, and a mason jar of iced tea complete the spread — simple, unhurried, and just right.
