Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 catfish filets
1/2 c prepared mustard
2/3 c cornmeal
1/2 c flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp black pepper
oil for frying

Steps:

  • 1. Mix the cornmeal, flour, salt, paprika, and black pepper in a shallow bowl.
  • 2. Spread the mustard over the fillets. Dredge in the cornmeal mixture.
  • 3. Heat oil to 350 degrees. Fry fish totally covered by oil for about five minutes.

Tips for Making Mustard Fried Catfish

  • Use a large skillet or frying pan to ensure that the catfish fillets have enough space to cook evenly.
  • Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the catfish fillets. If the oil is not hot enough, the catfish will not cook evenly and will be more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Cook the catfish fillets in batches if necessary. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the catfish will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the catfish fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. The catfish is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the mustard fried catfish immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, collard greens, or hush puppies.
