Ingredients

  • Peanut Oil or Vegetable Oil for frying
  • 2 whole Catfish Fillets cleaned
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1/2 Cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

Instructions

  • Pour oil in large cooking pot or Dutch oven to a depth of about 3 - 4 inches.
  • Heat oil to 355°F.
  • Wash and pat dry the catfish. Cut large pieces in 1/2 or 1/3, if desired.
  • Place egg and milk in a shallow dish. Beat with a whisk.
  • In another shallow bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, salt and pepper .
  • Dip a catfish filet into the milk. Turn to coat well.
  • Move catfish to cornmeal mixture. Turn to coat well, pressing with your hand to evenly coat. Set aside on a plate and repeat with all pieces.
  • Carefully place breaded pieces, 1 or 2 at a time – do not crowd the fish, into the hot oil. Fry, turnning as needed to fry both sides, to a golden crisp.
  • Remove to a paper towel-covered plate to drain. Do not cover; this will cause crust to become soggy.
  • Serve hot with plenty of Tartar Sauce, Hush Puppies and Cole Slaw (See Box Below for Links to some Recipes).
