Southern Fried Catfish Recipe




This recipe makes a large batch of batter for fried catfish that is easily stored in the freezer for future use. Frying outside is recommended as the smell of fried fish may linger.

Ingredients

2-3 catfish filets per person
1 ¼ pounds of corn meal
3 ounces of cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder
4 ounces of dry mustard
¼ cup salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
egg
peanut oil

In large bag or bowl mix together corn meal, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, dry mustard, and salt. In a deep fat fryer add peanut oil. Must have at least enough to fully cover fish. Heat oil just to the point of smoking. If it starts to smoke turn the heat down. Dip fish in whisked egg and dip in cornmeal mixture. Drop into oil. When fish turn golden brown and crisp they are ready to serve.

One of the best catfish fried recipes we have ever cooked.
