Directions Kid-Friendly Catfish Sticks
Directions
-
Place fish in a bowl and pour in Italian dressing, marinate in the refrigerator, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan.
Mix flour, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, lemon-pepper seasoning, and pepper together in a resealable bag. Pour beaten eggs into a separate resealable bag.
Remove catfish from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Drop catfish into the bag with eggs and shake to coat. Remove a few catfish at a time from eggs using tongs and transfer to flour mixture, shake to coat.
Cook catfish, working in batches, in the hot oil until fish float to the top and are cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove cooked fish with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Season fish sticks with salt while still warm.
