Ready in 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 ½ lb of Fresh Catfish fillets

3 - 4 eggs

Regular Mustard or Creole Mustard

1 tbsp Louisiana Hot Sauce (Any brand will do) 2 tsp Cajun Seasonings

2 tsps Garlic and Onion Powder

2 tsps Parsley dried flakes

Louisiana or Zatarain’s Fish Fry with Lemon

Vegetable Oil for frying

1 Sliced Lemon

Paper towels

Directions

Pour oil into skillet about ⅓ full.

Heat oil in a skillet or electric fryer to 375 degrees medium-high heat.

Mix the eggs, 1 tsp seasonings(cajun, garlic, onion, parsley) and 1 tbsp hot sauce in a bowl.

In another bowl add your fish fry and add more seasonings (cajun, parsley, garlic and onion powder) to this mixture also.

Rub the mustard all over each piece of fillet.

After the mustard bath, dip in the egg mixture on both sides and then dip into fish fry on both sides.

Now place the fillet in the skillet and fry for about 4 mins or until golden brown. Try not to overcrowd the skillet. Maybe 2 - 3 pieces at a time depending on the size of the skillet.

Take out and lay onto paper towels to drain the excess grease.

Garnish with Lemons and Plate!
