For extra crispy use stone-ground yellow cornmeal. Adjust all spices to taste. I made this using large basa fillets, it was excellent! Ingredients:
1 cup yellow cornmeal |
1/3 cup flour |
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or use red pepper) |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
3 teaspoons seasoning salt |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
10 -12 catfish fillets |
oil (for frying) |
Directions:
1. In a shallow dish combine the first 6 ingredients.
2. Dredge the fillets into the mixture and coat evenly.
3. In a large cast-iron skillet or a Dutch oven pour about 2-inches of oil; heat to 350 degrees.
4. Fry the fillets in batches for about 5-6 minutes turning once until golden.
5. Drain on paper towels.
