Cajun catfish recipes have always been a favorite of mine. I love a great blacked catfish or fried catfish with some red beans and rice. This fried catfish recipe is spicy just as it should be and has great flavor with the spicy brown mustard that is used often in Cajun cuisine.

Cajun Fried Catfish

4 large catfish fillets

Seasoning Mixture:
———————————–
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons course ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon paprika
————————————
2 tablespoons Tabasco sauce
2 tablespoons brown mustard (whole grain)
1 large egg
1 cup of milk
1 cup of canola oil for frying
1 cup of corn meal or corn flour

Cajun Catfish Method:

Rub the fish fillets with the brown mustard and place in a large bowl, combine all the dry seasoning including the corn meal in a small bowl and reserve. In a separate bowl combine the Tabasco, milk and egg.

Add one cup of canola frying oil to a large saute pan and heat over a medium high flame. While the oil is heating up dip the mustard covered catfish in the egg and milk mixture to coat. Next place the fish fillets in the seasoned flour mixture and coat well. Once the oil has reached temperature begin to cook by setting the fillets in the oil. Cook the catfish on each side for 3 to four minutes or until the fish reaches an *internal temperature of 145 degrees.
