Teresa's Deep Fried Catfish Preparation

Method:

In a 1-quart mixing bowl, blend all ingredients. Set aside

Ingredients for Frying:

3 pounds catfish

vegetable oil

4 cups yellow corn flour or cornmeal

granulated garlic to taste

salt and cracked black pepper to taste

cayenne pepper to taste

Method:

Using a home-style deep fryer such as a FryDaddy, heat oil according to manufacturer's directions. In a large mixing bowl, blend corn flour, garlic, salt and peppers. Dip catfish in egg batter and then in seasoned corn flour. Fry a few pieces at a time until golden brown and beginning to float. Continue until all seafood is done. NOTE: Fried catfish is best when served hot with cocktail or tartar sauce or when placed on a po'boy.

Notes

Comment:

Deep-frying seafoods is still quite common in the South. High quality vegetable or peanut oil should be used. Corn flour is a double-ground yellow cornmeal that can be found in the gourmet section of most food stores, possibly sold as a pre-packaged fish fry. This recipe is also great with shrimp or oysters.
