Ingredients:
  • 2 cups vegetable oil
  • 1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup stone-ground cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun Creole seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 pounds catfish nuggets, skin removed
  • Salt
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
Instructions:
  • Heat oil in a heavy 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F.
  • Combine flour, cornmeal, Creole seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, and red pepper in one dish. In a separate dish, beat egg with a fork until foamy.
  • Season catfish nuggets with a pinch of salt and a splash of fresh lemon juice. Dip each nugget into beaten egg, then coat with flour mixture. Fry 4 to 6 nuggets at a time in hot oil until deep golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels before serving.
