If catfish is unappealing, you might want some carp to go with the hush puppies...

Choose fresh clear, cold water carp and skin the same as catfish. cut up as if to fry. Choose size of roaster to suit amount of fish, then put in a layer of fish rolled in flour with salt and pepper. Then add a layer of bacon strips, then another layer of fish, etc., topping with a layer of smoked bacon strips. Bake and serve warm.
