Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup selfrising flour (or plain flour and 1/4 tsp baking powder)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder or grandulated
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 2 lbs Catfish filets
  • Good quality vegetable or peanut oil for deep frying.
  • Note(1) Allow two or three 5 to 7 oz fillets per person.
  • Note: (2) if not using cayenne pepper, crack a little black pepper on filets before dredging.

Directions
  1. Mix dry ingredients. Fish should be moist to capture batter. Do not towel dry. Coat fish evenly and drop in hot oil (360 degrees) Fish will turn golden and float to top when done. Do not overcrowd. Immediately place on absorbant paper. A brown grocery bag topped with paper towels works great.
