One 8-ounce package hushpuppy mix
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon sliced pickled jalapeno peppers, minced
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 1/4 pounds catfish fillets (about 4 fillets)
1 cup all-purpose flour
Spicy Tartar Sauce, recipe follows

1 tablespoon sliced pickled jalapeno peppers, finely minced
1 tablespoon finely minced onion
1 garlic clove, finely minced
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together hushpuppy mix, milk, water, egg, jalapenos, hot pepper sauce and cayenne; let stand 5 minutes.
  • Pour oil to a depth of 1/2 inch in a large deep skillet; heat oil to 350 degrees F.
  • Pat catfish fillets dry with paper towels, and cut into bite-size pieces. Dredge catfish pieces in flour, and then dip in hushpuppy batter mixture. Drop catfish pieces into hot oil, and fry, in batches, 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden. Serve with Spicy Tartar Sauce.
  • Stir together all ingredients in a medium bowl. Cover and chill until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • To ensure the catfish nuggets are cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145°F (63°C).
  • For a crispy coating, make sure the catfish nuggets are well-coated in the flour mixture before frying.
  • To prevent the catfish nuggets from sticking to the pan, use a non-stick skillet or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet.
  • For a healthier version of the catfish nuggets, you can bake them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • To add a bit of spice to the catfish nuggets, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika to the flour mixture.
  • For a tangy dipping sauce, mix together equal parts mayonnaise and ketchup, and add a squeeze of lemon juice and a dash of hot sauce.
