Categories     Main     Main Course     Main Dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound catfish (or substitute fish, cut into bite sized pieces)
½ cup all purpose flour
½ cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon oregano
2 tablespoon Cajun Seasoning (see substitute below if you don't have any on-hand)
1 egg
¾ cup beer (room-temperature)
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together your flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and all your spices. Add your beer and egg, and mix well, until everything is incorporated. Refrigerate for at least 30 min to help everything set.
  • When ready to cook, pour vegetable oil in a fryer or deep skillet to a depth of at least 3 inches, and heat to 375°. Stir batter, and fold in catfish.
  • When oil is hot, lift catfish nuggets with tongs, draining excess batter, and place in the oil, being careful not to over-crowd the fryer.
  • Fry until browned, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove to paper towels to drain excess oil, and repeat with remaining fish.
  • Serve warm with chips. To keep warm while you fry the rest of the fish, place on a baking sheet and keep in a low, warmed oven (150°-200°)

SUNNY'S CATFISH NUGGETS

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups plus 2 tablespoons milk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 catfish fillets, cut into 1-inch chunks
2 cups flour, divided
3 eggs
1 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons sugar
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 cup hot sauce
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • In a bowl, add the 2 cups milk and a heavy pinch of salt. Whisk to dissolve and add the fish chunks. Allow to soak at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Set up the dredging station: In the first bowl, add 1 cup flour. In the second bowl, whisk the eggs and add the remaining 2 tablespoons milk. In the third bowl, add the remaining 1 cup flour, the cornmeal, sugar and a pinch of salt followed by a few grinds of pepper.
  • In a frying pan with straight sides, add enough oil to fill 1-inch deep. Heat until the oil begins to swirl and the handle of a wooden spoon begins to sizzle as soon as it hits the oil. The oil will be about 350 degrees F.
  • Remove the fish from the milk in batches of 6 to 8 chunks. Shake the excess milk off the fish. Dredge in the flour, then the egg wash and then in the flour and cornmeal mixture. Add the batch to the oil, making sure to not overcrowd the pan and bring down the temperature. Fry, flipping once if needed, until a light golden brown and cooked through, about 6 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and season with a sprinkle of salt. Repeat until all the fish chunks are done.
  • In a small bowl, add the hot sauce and sift the sugar on top. Gently stir together. Drizzle over the nuggets or dunk them in the sauce.

SOUTHERN FRIED CATFISH NUGGETS



Southern Fried Catfish Nuggets image

This is the only way I've ever had catfish. I can't stand to eat it fried in restaurants, it tastes muddy to me, but I can eat it this way.

Provided by Jessica K

Categories     Catfish

Time 40m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 -2 lb catfish nuggets
1 egg
2 cups buttermilk (can use regular or lowfat milk)
3 cups cornmeal
salt and pepper (other seasonings you want)
oil

Steps:

  • Put oil in a skillet until it is halfway up or you can use a deep fryer, a deep fryer is actually best for these. Heat until hot or if using skillet use medium high heat.
  • In a large bowl beat egg with a fork, add buttermilk to it. Beat again to incorporate.
  • In another big bowl put cornmeal and seasonings to taste.
  • Rinse nuggets and dip into milk mixture, depending on how many you have you could probably fit them all in at one time.
  • Take a few out of the milk and dip in to the cornmeal, roll around to get it coated good, then put into oil.
  • If using skillet put them in until skillet is full. fry 3 minutes, turn and fry another 2-3 minutes. If using a deep fryer fry 5 minutes, about halfway through stir them around to break up any that might have clumped together. They are done when golden brown and flake easily with a fork.

CRISPY FRIED CATFISH NUGGETS



Crispy Fried Catfish Nuggets image

Frying anything is a chore, this technique will make it worth the trouble. This can be applied to any type of meat that is fit for frying. I only do this with catfish since it has the right flavor and consistency to hold up to the process and makes for decent left-overs. Tilapia is for people who pretend to like fish so don't let me catch you using that instead! This is best served on an onion roll with Durkee Sauce, Green Tomato Relish and thin sliced red onion.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 8 Sandwiches, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb catfish nuggets (Large Pieces)
1 cup course cornmeal
1 cup fine cornmeal (Corn Flour)
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt (leave out if using Cajun Seasoning)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried basil
2 tablespoons cajun seasoning (Optional, but highly recommended)
2 eggs
3 tablespoons buttermilk

Steps:

  • Rinse, pick out bones and undesirable bits, lightly dry catfish.
  • Mix the corn meal and seasonings in a pie plate.
  • Scramble the eggs and buttermilk in a bowl.
  • Heat a skillet filled about 1/2 an inch with corn oil over a medium flame. Throw a drop of water in it, when it sizzles you're ready to cook.
  • While the oil is heating, dredge the fish in the corn meal mix.
  • Then dip in egg mix.
  • Then heavily coat it in then corn meal mix pressing the corn meal into the egg. Be sure to cover all the wet spots before lightly knocking off any loose corn meal.
  • Last, set the piece aside to await frying.
  • For an extra thick crust, dip in egg and corn meal again. You will need to increase the amount of egg, buttermilk and corn meal by 50%.
  • Once the oil is hot, place as many pieces of coated fish into the skillet without over crowding it using the pieces that have been sitting the longest.
  • After about 3 minutes, turn the pieces half way around keeping them on the same side and cook until the sides start to brown. You want a medium to dark brown color on the underside before flipping.
  • Repeat the same after flipping but watch closely as it won't take as long to brown.
  • Remove pieces from the skillet, let the oil drain off and place on a rack to cool while the next round gets fried. You can put them in a 200 degree oven to keep hot while the rest cook.
  • Coat both sides of the onion rolls with Durkee Sauce (Mayo if you don't have it), place pieces of fish on the bottom half, cover top of fish with relish and onion, add top half of the roll and resist the urge to eat it all yourself.
  • The crust is a bit dry so you want to eat it with some kind of dipping sauce.
  • For left overs, just reheat in a 250 degree oven or eat it cold like fried chicken.
