One of my favorite fried-catfish recipes when having a fish fry. This is not too spicy and is usually a crowd favorite. Adapted from one of one of my old working buddies in the late 70s. Serve with french fries or onion rings.

Steps:
- Season catfish with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Refrigerate fillets 1 to 3 hours.
- Mix saltine crackers and almonds in a large, wide bowl. Stir milk, beaten eggs, and garlic together in a separate bowl.
- Soak the catfish fillets in the milk mixture for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Heat peanut oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Gently press the catfish fillets into the cracker mixture to coat completely; shake to remove any loose breading.
- Fry fillets in hot peanut oil until cooked through and floats atop the oil, about 5 minutes.
