1
Prepare the Catfish
Rinse the catfish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
2
Make the Egg Wash
In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
3
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well.

4
Coat the Fillets
Dip each catfish fillet first into the egg wash, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, dredge it in the cornmeal mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating.

5
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
6
Fry the Catfish
Carefully place the coated catfish fillets in the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the catfish from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
