Fun Food Fridays: Beer Battered Catfish
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 lb. catfish, cleaned and skinned
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 12-ounces beer
- 1/4 cup minced onion
- 3 cups vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
In a medium mixing bowl, blend flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper together. In a separate medium mixing bowl, add the eggs (well beaten), beer and minced onions, mix well.
Cut the catfish into 2 inch cubes or strips. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet.
Roll the catfish into the dry mixture, then dip into the beer-egg mixture, then back into the flour mixture. Place flour and dipped catfish into the skillet deep-fry, cook until golden brown.
Serve with Hush Puppies. (Which will be the October 22, 2010 recipe!)
