directions

• Put oil in a skillet until it is halfway up or you can use a deep fryer, a deep fryer is actually best for these. Heat until hot or if using skillet use medium high heat.
• In a large bowl beat egg with a fork, add buttermilk to it. Beat again to incorporate.
• In another big bowl put cornmeal and seasonings to taste.
• Rinse nuggets and dip into milk mixture, depending on how many you have you could probably fit them all in at one time.
• Take a few out of the milk and dip in to the cornmeal, roll around to get it coated good, then put into oil.
• If using skillet put them in until skillet is full. fry 3 minutes, turn and fry another 2-3 minutes. If using a deep fryer fry 5 minutes, about halfway through stir them around to break up any that might have clumped together. They are done when golden brown and flake easily with a fork.

1. Our local supermarket regularly has fresh catfish pieces, so this is a regular in my house - Sometimes I use panko bread crumbs, and usually add a cajun seasoning mix to it, e.g. paprika, cumin, garlic powder, etf.   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal Diane G. Reply 2
2. Didn't have 3 c. of corn meal so I did 1 c. corn meal and 2 c. flour. Added 2 tsp. salt, 1 Tbsp. black pepper, 1 tsp.: dry mustard, garlic, onion powder, and paprika. It was really good! No left overs. Will make this again.   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal Joella B. Reply 2
3. My friend's mom was diagnosed with brain cancer. Tonight was her first night home after the emergency surgery. We asked her what she wanted for dinner, and she said homemade catfish. We are both late 20s males who have never attempted anything like this before, but a quick google search brought us here. Followed this recipe, and it came out amazing. She loved it. We loved it. Thank you.   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal Chef RyanWilyamz Reply 2
4. Give a man fishing license and he'll eat until it expires. Give a girl a fishing license and she'll just stand there looking cute until some man with a fishing license offers her some fish.   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal gailanng Reply 2
5. Yummy! Nice and crispy. Cut more than 2 pounds of catfish fillets into smaller chunks, and this was the perfect amount of coating. Added 2 t Recipe #57340 and 1/2 t seafood magic to the cornmeal. Used a deep fryer at 340 degrees. Thanks for sharing the recipe!   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal LonghornMama Reply 1
