Crispy Fried Catfish

[SigNate]

Late yesterday afternoon after it cooled down to a nice 93 degrees in the shade I did a little frying outside in the little T-Fal fryer. I had cut some catfish fillets into nuggets and set in the fridge in a yellow mustard bath and when ready to cook I battered them just before frying the French fries. I also whipped up a little homemade cole slaw dressing for cole slaw.

Fries done



Some of the fish



Time to make a plate. There used to be someone who hated my stainless condiment cups so for them I decided to use one for some ketchup. Lol.....



Fish was REALLY delicious!

I just take the fish and in this case cut it up and added 2-3 tbsp. Crystal hot sauce and yellow mustard. Sometimes I mix the mustard with beer. I let that sit(really to be ready to bread)in the fridge so it's all good and cold. Shake off mustard, and drop into the dry batter mix and coat well. I did double coat some because while frying the fries they got moist. and they're ready to fry. These I fried at 350* until golden brown, drain and place on paper towels or a screen so oil doesn't get them soggy. That's it!
