I normally fillet them out. Do you do anything other than skin them and gut them when you fry it whole? I fry bream and perch whole after scaling and gutting, but have never done a catfish.

Yea just skin and gut. Nothing special. If it's a thicker cat maybe cut a few slits in it so it cooks throughout.
