Seafood and Breading
Method
Preparation and Cooking
Prepare the Breading
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Coat the Seafood
Dip each catfish fillet first into the wet mixture, then into the dry breading mix, ensuring an even coat. Repeat the process for the oysters.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Catfish and Oysters
Carefully add the breaded catfish fillets to the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Next, fry the oysters for about 2-3 minutes until they are crispy and golden.
Serve
Serve the fried catfish and oysters hot, with your choice of dipping sauces and lemon wedges.
