This is one of those recipes I just made up one evening. Ingredients:
1 lb catfish fillet, cut into bite size pieces |
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal |
3/4 cup all-purpose flour |
salt |
pepper, o taste |
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
peanut oil (for deep frying) |
8 flour tortillas (6 inch) |
8 tablespoons store bought tartar sauce |
3 drops tabasco sauce |
6 ounces store bought coleslaw |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in deep fryer to 375°F.
2. Rinse and pat dry catfish pieces and set aside.
3. Combine cornmeal, flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne.
4. Dredge catfish in flour mixture until well coated and fry a few at a time in hot oil until golden and drain on paper towels. Repeat until all have been fried and then refry them for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. This will make them crispier. Drain again.
5. In a cast iron or other heavy skillet, spray with nonstick spray and heat the tortillas on each side. Place in oven to keep warm. Meanwhile, mix the tartar sauce with a few drops of Tobasco.
6. Spread each tortilla with a tablespoons of tartar sauce and some of the coleslaw and finally catfish pieces.
7. Serve with additional tartar sauce or cocktail sauce.
