I wish I could help but I don't deep fry catfish. I pan fry it. I do
use an egg wash and then dredge it in a mixture of flour seasoned with
S&P and finely ground cornmeal. I add ground cayenne pepper since I
like it a little spicy. But I've never actually *battered* and deep
fried catfish. Hope it turns out well!
