Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Seafood

   Rinse the shrimp and oysters under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels. Cut the catfish fillets into serving-sized pieces.

2. 2

   Set Up Breading Stations

   In one bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and Old Bay seasoning. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.

3. 3

   Bread the Seafood

   Dredge each piece of seafood first in the egg mixture, then coat with the flour mixture. Ensure each piece is well coated.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large, deep skillet or fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Fry the Seafood

   Carefully add the breaded shrimp, oysters, and catfish pieces to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes for shrimp and oysters, and 5-6 minutes for catfish. Remove and drain on paper towels.

   Prepare the Sides

   Cook the pub fries according to package instructions. In a large bowl, combine coleslaw mix with coleslaw dressing.
