Creole Mustard Battered Caftish

Ingredients

6 catfish fillets (8 oz) each
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
kosher salt and black pepper to taste
1 tbs garlic powder
1 tbs onion powder
1 cup milk
3 tbs creole or whole grain mustard

This is a wonderfully crispy fried catfish. Other white fish fillets may be substituted if desired.
  • In a bowl add the cornmeal and flour, along with the garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Mix well.
  • Place the fish fillets in ice water for about 30 minutes.
  • Remove the fish from the ice water and pat dry.
  • Blend the milk, creole mustard and lemon juice.
  • Place the fish in the mustard mixture and then into the corn meal mixture and coat the fillets, knocking off the excess.
  • Fill a large sauce pan or deep fryer 1/3 full of oil and heat to 365 degrees. 
  • Fry the fish in batches until it is golden brown and crispy. About 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
