Chicken Fried Salmon

Texas is known for its chicken fried steak, but does anyone really make chicken fried salmon? There appears to be at least one recipe on the internet for “Cayenne Chicken-Fried Salmon.”
 
A May 26, 2008 “Texas Road Trip” post (below) indicates that the Sands Restaurant in Dalhart serves “CFS, CFS (salmon).” A check of the Sands Restaurant’s online menu shows that it’s famous for its chicken fried steak, but salmon is nowhere listed. Perhaps salmon is a new kind of “CFS”?

Dalhart
Sands Restaurant, 314 Liberal - Real good place if you’re ever lost in Dalhart. CFS, CFS (salmon), Steaks, fried chicken, real gravy…I’m getting fat just writing this! They have a motel there if you need to sleep off all the great fried foods they have.
