Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound catfish (or substitute fish, cut into bite sized pieces)
½ cup all purpose flour
½ cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon oregano
2 tablespoon Cajun Seasoning (see substitute below if you don't have any on-hand)
1 egg
¾ cup beer (room-temperature)
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together your flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and all your spices. Add your beer and egg, and mix well, until everything is incorporated. Refrigerate for at least 30 min to help everything set.
  • When ready to cook, pour vegetable oil in a fryer or deep skillet to a depth of at least 3 inches, and heat to 375°. Stir batter, and fold in catfish.
  • When oil is hot, lift catfish nuggets with tongs, draining excess batter, and place in the oil, being careful not to over-crowd the fryer.
  • Fry until browned, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove to paper towels to drain excess oil, and repeat with remaining fish.
  • Serve warm with chips. To keep warm while you fry the rest of the fish, place on a baking sheet and keep in a low, warmed oven (150°-200°)

Crunchy catfish nuggets that can be served as hors d'oeuvres. These were a special hit with my 3 year old who loved the fact that she could eat them like finger food. You may want to adjust the seasoning - my daughter is used to spicy stuff! These have the great taste of fried fish without the grease.
