Crispy Lemon-Pepper Catfish
Ingredients
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1 tablespoon lemon pepper
  • 6 (6 ounce) fillets catfish
  • 1/4 cup margarine
Instructions
1
Crack eggs into a shallow dish and whisk them until smooth. In another shallow dish, mix together flour, cornmeal, and a pinch of lemon-pepper seasoning for added flavor.
2
Dip each fillet into the egg mixture, coating it evenly, then roll it in the flour mixture to coat thoroughly.
3
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and melt margarine inside. Fry the breaded catfish in batches until it reaches a golden brown color, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the fish from the pan and drain it briefly on paper towels before serving
