Ingredients

2 eggs

½ cup buttermilk

2 Tbsp hot sauce

1 cup corn meal

1 cup flour

2 tsp dried granulated onion

2 Tbsp dried granulated garlic

½ tsp ground Cayenne pepper

1 tsp salt

½ tsp ground black pepper

4 lbs catfish filets

oil for frying (corn oil or peanut oil works best)

Directions

Place oil in a deep fryer and heat to 365.

Mix eggs, buttermilk, and hot sauce in a bowl and beat well to make an egg wash.

Mix cornmeal, flour granulated onion, granulated garlic, Cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper in a small casserole dish.

Cut catfish filets into strips approx. 1 inch thickness.

Place catfish strips in egg wash mixture and soak for 3-5 minutes.

Remove catfish strips from egg wash and drain briefly.

Roll wet catfish strips in flower mixture. Allow catfish strips to sit in flour for 1-2 minutes.

Remove the catfish strips from flour, shake off excess flour and place into hot oil.

Fry to a golden brown, turning often.

Remove to drip pan or paper towels to drain grease.

Season to taste and serve with tartar sauce, hushpuppies and slaw.

It’s a good idea to ice down the beers before you start this recipe so they’re good and cold at serving time!

Batter looks nice. will pick up some buttermilk and try it soon. no catfish, though. got a bunch of crappie in the freezer to use instead :)

Hello...
The buttermilk in the batter is what makes this so special...
....as well as...the 'beer' in the 'cook'...right ?
Thanks for the great recipe ! A " 5 "...!
