Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Catfish Nuggets
  • 1 cup self rising flour
  • 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce
  • 2 medium sized eggs
  • 2 tsp your favorite cajun seasoning
  • 2- 2 1/2 cup oil to fry with

Instructions

  • Make sure that the fish is nice and clean before anything else, then set to the side.
  • In a large bowl add the self rising flour, cornmeal, and cajun seasoning. Mix well.
  • In a separate bowl beat the two eggs, then add in the hot sauce, and mix.
  • Next add the fish into the bowl with the hot sauce & egg mixture.
  • Make sure that the fish is nicely coated with the wet mixture, then coat with the flour mixture.
  • Once all of the fish is coated, let it set for about 5 minutes so that the cornmeal & flour mixture can stick well.
  • Heat the oil between 350 - 375 F.
  • Once the oil is nice and hot, carefully add the fish into the skillet or deep fryer, but do not overcrowd.
  • Fry the fish until golden brown, then remove from the oil, and set on a paper towel lined plate or cookie sheet.
  • Let sit until it's cool enough to eat.
  • Serve & Enjoy.
