Categories     Seafood     Fish     Catfish

Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound catfish fillets, cut into 1 1/2x4-inch sticks
1 cup Italian salad dressing
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup cornmeal
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons lemon-pepper seasoning
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups oil for frying, or as needed
2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Place fish in a bowl and pour in Italian dressing; marinate in the refrigerator, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan.
  • Mix flour, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, lemon-pepper seasoning, and pepper together in a resealable bag. Pour beaten eggs into a separate resealable bag.
  • Remove catfish from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Drop catfish into the bag with eggs and shake to coat. Remove a few catfish at a time from eggs using tongs and transfer to flour mixture; shake to coat.
  • Cook catfish, working in batches, in the hot oil until fish float to the top and are cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove cooked fish with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Season fish sticks with salt while still warm.

I made these catfish sticks for my family and they were a big disappointment. The breading was soggy and the fish was overcooked.
