4/3 Disaster Dinner

I am mainly posting this to solicit help from my cousins. I would rather not even talk about it lol, but I guess we all have a meal that was a total failure.
I grew up eating fried catfish and hush puppies because my parents had a lake in their back yard. My uncle and family also had a lake. I don't know the recipes they used, but they were always good.
I tried to make a healthy version of catfish, baked and stuffed. It was SO BAD, and the hush puppies were even worse. We threw all of it out, I felt so bad.
So please help Catherine, I need the family recipes!
