Ingredients
- 3 catfish fillets cut into serving size pieces
- ½ cup McCormick Cajun Seafood Fry Mix
- 2 tablespoons Weber N’Orleans Cajun Seasoning
- ½ teaspoon ground cayenne red pepper
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 eggs beaten
- 3 tablespoons milk
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Pat catfish fillets dry with paper towels. In a shallow bowl mix together dry ingredients. In another shallow bowl mix together milk and eggs. Dip fish into egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then in dry mix. Press mixture into fillets gently, then place on a plate and allow to sit for at least 5 minutes.
- Fill a large frying pan with about ½ to 1 inch oil, depending on the thickness of the fish. Heat oil over medium high heat then add catfish fillets, fry for 4-5 minutes on one side, then turn carefully and continue frying for another 4 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
