Fried Catfish! YUM!

I have been craving fried fish and french fries, so when the grocery store had catfish nuggets on sale, guess what!! I bought some!

My coating for my catfish is a "dump" recipe. So, I really don't have exact measurements, sorry...

Oh! And, Happy Hump Day!!!

Fried Catfish

catfish nuggets, or any other fish (2 lb.)

yellow corn meal (~ 1.5-2 c.)

gluten free all purpose flour (~ 1 c.)

salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, chili powder or red pepper, or any other seasoning you like (~2-3 tsp. each)

egg

milk (~1/2 c.)

oil, for frying

Put enough oil to be approximately 2-3 inches deep in a sauce pan or skillet. Turn on medium to high heat. When you see small bubbles in the grease, it is hot enough. In a shallow container, lightly beat an egg. Add about 1/2 c. milk. In another shallow container, mix dry ingredients. Dip catfish pieces in egg mixture, then coat with dry ingredients. When oil is hot enough, add one piece of fish. It should start frying/bubbling/cooking immediately; if it doesn't, the oil is not hot enough. Turn over once, when the both sides are golden brown, remove from oil. Place on paper towels to drain. Continue with all pieces of fish. I usually have 3-4 pieces cooking at one time.

The homemade tartar sauce is mayonnaise, spicy brown mustard, dill relish, and some salt.
