Rinse the catfish fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Prepare the Catfish

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, cornmeal, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.

Make the Breading

Dip each catfish fillet first in the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour-cornmeal mixture until well coated.

Coat the Fillets

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Heat the Oil

Carefully place the coated fillets in the hot oil, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Fry the Catfish

Remove the catfish from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.
