CORNMEAL-CRUSTED CATFISH
Steps:
- Stir together the milk and 1 heaping tablespoon of the House Seasoning. Pour the milk mixture into a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the filets. Spread the filets in an even layer in the dish, turning to coat each side. Let marinate for about 1 hour in a cool place or the refrigerator.
- Pour enough oil into a large Dutch oven to come 2 inches up the side. Clip a deep-fry thermometer to the pot and heat over medium-high heat until the thermometer reaches 370 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, stir together the cornmeal, flour and remaining 1 heaping tablespoon House Seasoning in a paper bag. Working with a few filets at a time, remove them from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place them in the paper bag and gently turn the bag over several times until the filets are evenly coated with the cornmeal mixture. Remove the filets and place them on a baking sheet while you repeat the process with the remaining filets.
- Working in batches, fry the filets until golden brown and crisp on the outside and moist and flaky inside, adjusting the heat to maintain temperature, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a clean wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet to drain. Serve the filets with lemon wedges.
- Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

Steps:
- 1. Whether you are using fresh or frozen catfish filets make sure that they are completely thawed. Make sure to remove anything red on the meat by shaving it off with a good sharp knife. Pat dry with a paper towel.
- 2. Put oil in a Dutch oven or similar deep cooking pot. Heat it until when you put in the end of a wooden spoon handle and see it bubble around the handle.
- 3. While the oil is heating, mix all of the dry ingredients it a flat bottom bowel. Take each filet and press it into the cornmeal mixture. Cover the top surface with mixture and press in firmly. Flip and repeat. Place filet on a plate while you're waiting for the oil to heat. This allows the oil in the fish to better absorb the coating. It help lesson the amount of batter that that falls to the bottom of the pan. (You can make up and add more coating as needed.)
- 4. Cook each side about 3-4 minutes until coating is dark yellow not quite brown. When you insert a fork it should be easy to insert and remove. This is a good indicator of doneness.
