Ingredients:

Serving

3 lbs catfish nuggets or 3 lbs catfish fillets
1/3 cup milk
1 1/2 cups cornmeal
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2-1 tsp garlic powder
3 tsp old bay seasoning
canola oil
olive oil
lemon wedge
hot sauce ( i like frank's)

Directions:

Soak fish in milk for 15 minutes.
Heat about 1/2 oil (about a 50/50 mix), in deep skillet (I use my cast iron chicken fryer), until a drop of water sizzles violently but below smoking point.
Combine cornmeal, flour, salt, garlic powder, and Old Bay in a plastic bag.
Shake a few pieces of catfish at a time in the breading then fry in the oil until browned and crisp, turning once. Drain on paper towels then keep hot on warmed plate.
Repeat, frying small batches, until finished.
Serve, passing lemon wedges and hot sauce at the table.
Note - I recommend cole slaw (try Better Dressing for Coleslaw or Aunt Ella's Cabbage Salad ), or a green salad and French or Italian bread to complete the meal.
Note - For something a little different, try making sandwiches on hard rolls with lettuce, tomato, and tartar sauce as well as the lemon and hot sauce.
Note - Its a bit overwhelming for tilapia, perch, and other mild fish but do try it on other strongly-flavored fish.
