Time 8h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds catfish fillets, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons dried thyme leaves
1 cup spicy brown mustard
1 quart vegetable oil for frying
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Place the catfish pieces into a mixing bowl and sprinkle with thyme leaves. Toss until the catfish is evenly coated with the thyme. Mix in the mustard with your hands. Cover, and refrigerate overnight, up to 24 hours.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Whisk the flour, salt, black pepper, and baking soda together in a mixing bowl.
  • Dip the catfish pieces one at a time into the flour mixture and shake off the excess. Fry the catfish nuggets in batches until they are no longer translucent in the center and are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Let the oil come back up to temperature between batches. Drain the nuggets on a paper towel-lined plate before serving.

I've tried many fried catfish recipes, but this one is by far the best. The fish was so moist and flaky, and the breading was perfectly crispy. I will definitely be using this recipe again and again.

This recipe is a waste of time. The fish was overcooked and the breading was soggy. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I'm not going to give up. I'm going to try again until I get it right.

This recipe is okay. The fish was cooked well, but the breading was a little bland. I think it could use some more seasoning.
