Catfish: Catfish Fillets

Source of Recipe


From "Sweetie Pie's Cookbook" by Robbie Montgomery



List of Ingredients



• 2 pounds catfish fillets
  
• Salt and pepper
  
• 1 cup cornmeal
  
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  
• 1 large egg
  
• 1 cup vegetable oil
  






Instructions



1. Wash the catfish fillets under cold running water and pat them dry. Season with salt and pepper.
   
   
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal and flour.
   In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs well. Dip the fish in the beaten egg, then dredge it in the cornmeal to totally coat it.
   
   
3. Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat until a pinch of flour dropped into the oil sizzles. Lay the catfish into the oil and fry until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and serve with potato salad, coleslaw, rice, or a green salad.
