Catfish Nugget Ingredients
Cooking Instructions
1. Prepare the Catfish
Cut catfish fillets into bite-sized nugget pieces and set aside.
2. Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until well combined. In another bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
3. Coat the Nuggets
Dip each catfish piece into the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Then, dredge in the cornmeal mixture, ensuring an even coating.
4. Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5. Fry the Nuggets
Carefully place the coated catfish nuggets into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Drain and Serve
Remove the nuggets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
