FRIED CATFISH

Preparation Method :

• Drop the cornmeal onto a plate and season with the thyme, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper.
• Put the flour onto a separate plate. Beat the eggs in a wide, shallow bowl.
• Dust the catfish fillets with the flour on both sides, shaking off any excess and dip into the eggs, then pat the cornmeal onto both sides.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add as many catfish fillets in batches and cook for about 2 - 3 minutes or until the coating is golden brown.
• Turn over the fillets and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden on both sides.
• Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Transfer the fillets to a low oven to keep warm. Serve the fried fish with coleslaw.
