This. Little hot sauce never hurt either.

Marinate in mustard and hot sauce briefly. Bread with LA Fish Fry Seasoned (Blue Bag). Fry at 350 degrees until done.

Yellow mustard and hot sauce before putting the batter on. I usually coat them and let them sit while I work on prepping everything else.

No mustard

season well, dredge through seasoned corn meal and then straight into 375 grease, pull out when they float

A different way:

Soak the fish in buttermilk for at least a few minutes. Dredge in seasoned corn meal, fry at 350 degrees until floating and golden. Drain on a wire wrack.

This is important...allows fish to stay crispy vs soaking in grease laden paper towels.

Make up a few different drenches and split your catfish up, but use the same dredge for each. Each type of nugget will be a little different, and you'll get some variety. A friend of mine does this for the Superbowl(tm) each year and it's always a big hit.

Put your dry batter in the freezer overnight. If everything is cold the batter sticks better.

I prefer farm raised frozen Barrumundi.

If I do nuggets instead of filets I like to fry them a bit longer so they get a bit more crisp.

Make a damn good tartar sauce.

Either Massachusetts or according to R2R Lillette.

I like to buy the Delta Pride whole catfish to fry. They are probably about a pound and a half and really fry nicely. Eating fried fish on the bone is where it's at.
