Method
- I like to soak the catfish in beer for 30-60 minutes before cooking, but its not necessary.
- When you are ready, preheat oil in deep fryer or skillet.
- In a large plastic bag, combine cornmeal, flour and Cajun spice, mixing well.
- Add fish nuggets and toss until fish is well coated.
- When oil has reached the proper temperature (375 F), add 10-12 pieces of fish at a time.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes until they are a deep golden brown.
- Remove the fried fish from the oil using a slotted spoon and set on a paper towel lined plate.
- Repeat with the remaining fish.
- Serves 4-6.
- Enjoy!
