Ingredients:

Serving

5 lbs catfish fillets
1/2 cup prepared yellow mustard
1/4 cup tabasco sauce
2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup half-and-half cream
1/2 cup water
3 tbsp dry white wine
2 cups white cornmeal
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tsp salt
2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1 quart cooking oil (enough to deep fry the fish)

Directions:

Preheat the oil in a deep fat fryer to 375°F.
Cut the fish into 2 to 3 ounce pieces.
Combine mustard, Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce, cream, water, and wine in a large mixing bowl until well blended.
Put the white cornmeal in a food processor and blend at high speed for about 2 minutes; It will make the mixture much finer.
Pour the mixture into another large, dry mixing bowl and add the flour and remaining ingredients, except for the cooking oil.
Mix well together until well blended; coat the fish pieces in the mustard mixture, then roll the fish in the dry cornmeal/flour mixture.
Fry the fish in a deep fat fryer at 375°F; the fish should float to the top of the grease and turn a golden brown.
Remove from the fryer and drain on a stack of dry paper towels.
This makes awesome Po' Boy's or just plain old fish sandwiches.
