Time 23m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 lbs catfish fillets
1/2 cup prepared yellow mustard
1/4 cup Tabasco sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup half-and-half cream
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons dry white wine
2 cups white cornmeal
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 quart cooking oil (enough to deep fry the fish)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oil in a deep fat fryer to 375°F.
  • Cut the fish into 2 to 3 ounce pieces.
  • Combine mustard, Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce, cream, water, and wine in a large mixing bowl until well blended.
  • Put the white cornmeal in a food processor and blend at high speed for about 2 minutes; It will make the mixture much finer.
  • Pour the mixture into another large, dry mixing bowl and add the flour and remaining ingredients, except for the cooking oil.
  • Mix well together until well blended; coat the fish pieces in the mustard mixture, then roll the fish in the dry cornmeal/flour mixture.
  • Fry the fish in a deep fat fryer at 375°F; the fish should float to the top of the grease and turn a golden brown.
  • Remove from the fryer and drain on a stack of dry paper towels.
  • This makes awesome Po' Boy's or just plain old fish sandwiches.
