Ingredients:

Serving

1 large egg
2 tbsp hot sauce
1 1/4 lb catfish fillets, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch-wide strips
about 8 cups vegetable oil for frying
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal (not coarse )
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp cajun seasoning
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sweet pickle relish
2 tbsp capers, rinsed, drained, and chopped
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp prepared horseradish
2 tsp hot sauce
2 tsp cajun seasoning
accompaniment: lemon wedges

Directions:

Prepare fish: Whisk together egg and hot sauce in a wide shallow dish. Stir in fish strips and let stand at room temperature at least 10 and up to 30 minutes.
Pour enough oil into a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot to measure 2 inches and heat over moderate heat until thermometer registers 350°F.
Stir together flour, cornmeal, salt, and Cajun seasoning in another wide shallow dish.
Make tartar sauce: Stir together all sauce ingredients in a bowl and chill, covered, until ready to serve.
Fry fish: Drain fish well in a colander. Dredge one fourth of fish in flour mixture, shaking off excess, then transfer to oil and fry, stirring occasionally with a slotted spoon, until golden and just cooked through, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Transfer with slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Return oil to 350°F. Repeat procedure with remaining fish strips in 3 batches.
Serve fish tenders hot with tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
*Available for order: BlueChef ( ), The Spice Hunter (800-444-3016), and Mc Cormick ( ).
Cooks' note: Tartar sauce can be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered.
