Does anyone know a good breading for Catfish nuggets?
Ive got the nuggets but I don't know if I should use flour or cornmeal or what.. help?!?
Answers:
Cornmeal - absolutely the best for catfish:
Classic Fried Catfish
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, to taste
6 (4 ounce) farm-raised catfish fillets
1/4 teaspoon salt
vegetable oil
COMBINE first 5 ingredients in a large shallow dish.
Sprinkle fish with 1/4 teaspoon salt; dredge in cornmeal mixture, coating evenly.
POUR oil to a depth of 1 1/2 inches into a deep cast-iron skillet; heat to 350 degrees;.
Fry fish, in batches, 5 to 6 minutes or until golden; drain on paper towels.
Serve with some mayo/Tabasco sauce or fresh lemon juice. Good Luck!
