Method

Prepare the Seafood

  1. 1

    Clean the Seafood

    Rinse the catfish fillets, shrimp, and oysters under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Seafood

    In a large bowl, add the cleaned catfish, shrimp, and oysters. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, toss to coat.

Prepare the Breading

  1. 3

    Mix the Breading

    In a shallow dish, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.

Frying the Seafood

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Dredge the Seafood

    Coat each piece of seafood in the cornmeal mixture, ensuring they are evenly covered.

  3. 6

    Fry the Seafood

    Carefully place the dredged catfish, shrimp, and oysters into the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.

  4. 7

    Drain the Seafood

    Once cooked, remove the seafood from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Prepare the Sides

  1. 8

    Cook the French Fries

    Prepare French fries according to package instructions or fry them in the same oil after the seafood is done, cooking until golden and crispy.
