Directions
Wipe the fish with a cloth dipped in lightly salted water.
Rub the fish lightly with bacon drippings and roll in corn meal.
Dust a little salt and pepper in the cavities.
Heat bacon drippings in a cast iron fry pan.
Drippings should be ¼ to ½ inch deep and hot enough to brown a 1 inch cube of bread in 2 minutes (no hotter).
Cook fish until it is browned on one side, about 4 minutes, then turn and brown on the other side.
Drain on paper towel before serving.
