ingredients
directions
- fill large pot one third to half way with shortening and heat to 350 degrees.
- rinse thawed catfish filets under cold water.
- cut each filet into 2 to 3 pieces, keeping them relatively the same size so they will cook evenly.
- add 1 cup milk and 2 eggs to a shallow dish and whisk together, then dredge the catfish pieces in mixture (this step is optional).
- add white flour, cornmeal, paprika and salt to a seperate shallow dish and combine thoroughly.
- bring a few pieces at a time from the milk/egg mixture into the dry mix and dredge and then drop carefully into hot oil.
- do not overcrowd catfish in the pan!
- cook until golden brown, they will start to float, maybe 3 to 4 minutes.
- tip: you may have to flip catfish to cook evenly on other side.
