1
Prepare the Catfish
Cut catfish fillets into bite-sized nuggets and set aside.
2
Set Up Breading Station
In one bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
3
Breading the Nuggets
Dip each catfish nugget into the egg mixture, then coat with the cornmeal mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
4
Fry the Nuggets
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the nuggets in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
5
Serve
Serve the catfish nuggets hot with green beans and hushpuppies on the side.
