I have found that catfish nuggets are sold fairly cheap at my local grocery store. This recipe is a tasty way to make dinner on a tight budget.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs catfish nuggets
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup white cornmeal
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
canola oil
Directions:
1. Scramble the egg in a large bowl then whisk in the buttermilk follow by the rest of the ingredients, except fish.
2. Heat 2-3 inches of oil in a large frying pan until hot. Dip the nuggets into the batter so they are coated then gently drop into the hot oil. Fry for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown & crispy.
3. Repeat until all the fish is fried. Place the fried fish onto a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil.
