Categories     Catfish

Time P1DT30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs catfish
12 ounces yellow mustard
1 egg
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
canola oil or peanut oil

Steps:

  • THE DAY BEFORE - combine the mustard with egg and add the catfish.
  • Cover and marinate overnight.
  • The next day, place enough oil in an 8 quart saucepan or dutch oven (or fryer) to hold the catfish fillets in two batches (up to eight cups of oil).
  • Heat oil to 360 degrees.
  • Mix the dry ingredients and spices together.
  • Roll the catfish fillets in the dry mix.
  • Shake off the excess and fry about 5 minutes until golden brown.
  • Drain and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Select fresh catfish fillets: Choose firm, moist fillets with no off odors. Check for any bones and remove them with a pair of tweezers.
  • Make sure your catfish fillets are evenly coated with the mustard mixture: This will help ensure that they are evenly seasoned and cooked through.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the catfish: This will prevent the fish from cooking evenly and may cause it to steam rather than fry.
  • Cook the catfish until it is golden brown and flaky: This will ensure that it is cooked through and has a crispy outer layer.
  • Serve the catfish immediately with your favorite sides: Mustard catfish pairs well with mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and hush puppies.

Conclusion:

Mustard catfish is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The mustard mixture adds a tangy and flavorful crust to the fish, while the catfish itself is flaky and moist. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
