Ingredients:

  • 1 lb catfish fillet
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • butter, for frying (or canola oil for the health-conscious)

Directions:

  1. Sprinkle fillets with salt, pepper and paprika.
  2. Beat eggs, and stir in water.
  3. Spread cornmeal on a piece of wax paper, and roll each fish in the cornmeal.
  4. Next, dip it in the egg mixture (this is not an error, cornmeal, then egg - trust me).
  5. Now roll it in the cornmeal again.
  6. Refrigerate fish for 20minutes.
  7. Melt butter in a skillet over low heat and fry fish for about 3 minutes on each side, adding more butter if needed (oil can be used instead of butter).
  8. I love this served with a good tartar sauce and fresh lemon juice squeezed on top. Enjoy!
