This is an easy and tasty way to make catfish. The mustard adds a nice tang but doesn't overwhelm the other flavors. It also helps to seal in the juices. I would serve this along with some hushpuppies.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal shopping list
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour shopping list
- 2 tsp salt shopping list
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper shopping list
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder shopping list
- 4 catfish fillets shopping list
- yellow mustard shopping list
- vegetable oil shopping list
How to make it
- Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet to 350 degrees. About 1 1/2 inches depth.
- Combine cornmeal, flour, salt, cayenne pepper and garlic powder.
- Coat fish with thin layer of mustard on both sides.
- Dredge catfish in cornmeal mixture.
- Fry fish for about 5-6 minutes.
- Remember don't overcrowd your pan or it won't be as crispy. I usually fry 1-2 fillets at a time.
