Ingredients
Catfish preparation and seasoning
Dredging and frying
Catfish preparation
1. Pat the catfish nuggets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
2. In a large bowl, combine catfish with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, and lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly and let marinate for 10 minutes.
Breading and frying
3. In a shallow dish, whisk the eggs with the milk to make an egg wash.
4. In a separate shallow dish, mix the flour and cornmeal with a pinch of salt.
5. Heat the oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350-365°F (175-185°C).
6. Dredge each catfish nugget in the flour-cornmeal mixture, pressing to adhere.
7. Dip the coated nuggets into the egg wash, then return to the flour-cornmeal mixture for a double coating.
8. Fry the nuggets in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Monitor temperature to maintain a crisp coating.
9. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with lemon wedges or your favorite dipping sauce.
