Another spicy Cajun favorite, Fried Catfish is a popular dish in Southwest Louisiana..

I have many fond memories of weekends spent along the Vermilion Bayou, out on the boat,  first catching, then cooking the catfish. If it was a big catch, we'd invite the whole family for a fish fry. Along with the fish, hushpuppies and potato salad, were served.

Ingredients:

2 pounds catfish fillets                                                                                                                                              1 /4 cup each, yellow mustard and creole mustard,

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder,         

 Salt and Tabasco to taste

1 tbsp. Tony's  Creole seasoning

1/2 cup each of cornmeal and flour

 2 cups vegetable oil


Wash fish and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt.
Combine mustard, Tony's,few drops of Tabasco, and garlic powder. Toss fish in mustard mixture.Combine cornmeal and flour. Dredge coated filets in cornmeal and flour mixture.

Heat vegetable oil until very hot.  Fry catfish filets, a few at a time, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serves 6. Le Bon' Manger'
