Catfish Fingers

Tartar Sauce

Lemon Wedges

Method

Catfish Fingers

  1. 1

    Prepare the Catfish

    Cut the catfish fillets into finger-sized strips, approximately 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. In a third bowl, mix cornmeal, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Catfish

    Dip each catfish strip first in the flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally coat it with the cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Fry the Catfish

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded catfish fingers in batches. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Tartar Sauce

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, relish, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until well combined.

  2. 6

    Season

    Add salt and black pepper to taste, and mix well. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Lemon Wedges

  1. 7

    Prepare Lemon Wedges

    Cut the lemon into wedges for serving alongside the catfish fingers.
