Time 40m

Yield 40-50 nuggets, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

8 skinless catfish fillets, cut up large bite-sized or 3 lbs skinless catfish fillets
2 cups flour
1 cup seasoned dry bread crumb
1 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dips Mix
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon sriracha sauce, can sub favorite hot sauce
1 cup heavy mayonnaise
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1/4-1/3 cup chopped pickled jalapeno pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons hidden valley original ranch dip mix
2 teaspoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon minced shallot
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley
peanut oil (for frying, about 1 quart)
2 lemons, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • For the tartar sauce: Stir all ingredients well in medium bowl, cover and chill.
  • For the catfish: Cut catfish into large bite-sized pieces ( 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 inches). In one pie dish, combine flour, breadcrumbs, cornmeal, dip mix, salt, cayenne and pepper. In second pie dish, whisk buttermilk with sriracha sauce. Set a cooling rack over one baking sheet. Line a second one with newspaper.
  • Heat oil in deep pot or dutch oven to 375 degrees. Adjust flame to keep at correct temperature.
  • Toss each catfish nugget into the buttermilk mixture with a fork, rest on fork over dish and let excess drip away, toss into flour mixture and coat, tossing with other hand. Place onto cooling rack to dry. (Double-dip if you prefer more breading.) Let all dry and rest for about 5 minutes before frying.
  • Fry a "test piece" for about 3-5 minutes til golden and fish is done in the middle. (Flakes when broken in half.) *Write down the time so you know how long to fry the rest. *This depends on what oil you are using, how hot your oil is and how thick your catfish fillets are. Every fish varies just a bit. ;) Fry about 8-10 pieces at a time *not overcrowding*. Place cooked fish onto newspaper-lined baking sheet as you go. (Keep warm in low oven if desired.) Serve just as is or transfer to a platter. Eat hot and enjoy with tartar sauce and lemon wedges!
