Bb King's Catfish Nuggets & Sauce image

I'm not real sure how I came about this recipe, but I think I was watching the Food Network and someone there was visiting BB King's place in Memphis, TN. I had to listen really hard and this is what I came up with. This sauce is to die for! We make it everytime I fry catfish and there is never any left over. We even use this recipe for our fish tacos. Serve with a nice cole slaw. YUM!

These catfish nuggets are a great appetizer or main course. I served them with coleslaw and potato salad.

I served the catfish nuggets with tartar sauce instead of the sauce that came with the recipe. It was a great combination.

I added a bit of Old Bay seasoning to the flour mixture. It gave the nuggets a nice flavor.

I didn't have any catfish fillets, so I used tilapia instead. The nuggets turned out great.

The catfish nuggets were a bit dry. I think I overcooked them. But the sauce was delicious.

These catfish nuggets were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.

I was skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it. The catfish nuggets were crispy and flavorful, and the sauce was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making this recipe again.

These catfish nuggets were a hit with my family! The sauce was tangy and flavorful, and the nuggets were crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
