Fried Cornmeal Crusted Catfish
For extra crispy use stone-ground yellow cornmeal. Adjust all spices to taste. I made this using large basa fillets, it was excellent!!
Steps
In a shallow dish combine the first 6 ingredients.
Dredge the fillets into the mixture and coat evenly.
In a large cast-iron skillet or a dutch oven pour about 2-inches of oil.
Heat to 350 degrees.
Fry the fillets in batches for about 5-6 minutes turning once until golden.
Drain on paper towels.
