Southern Fried Fish
Ingredients:
2 pounds of fresh filet catfish
Salt
Pepper
Garlic powder
Corn oil
1 cup of yellow corn meal
1 cup of flour, all-purpose
Directions:
1. Season the fish with the salt, pepper, and the garlic powder. Set aside in a bowl for about 30 minutes to allow the seasonings to soak in.
2. In a heavy skillet, heat 3 cups of corn oil to 350 degrees F.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the corn meal and the flour until well combined.
4. Coat each piece of fish on all sides and shake off excess mix.
5. Place some pieces of fish into hot oil, do not over crowd, leave room for turning the fish over.
6. Turn each piece of fish over. You will know when the fish is ready to turn by the edges turning golden brown. If the heat is set to medium it will take about 5 minutes before the fish is ready top turn.
7. Turn the fish with a spatula, this prevents the fish from breaking.
8. Take each piece out of the hot oil and place on a platter that is covered with paper towels to allow the grease to drain from the fish.
9. Serve hot and enjoy!
