FRIED CATFISH

Ingredients for eggwash:

• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup of milk
• Salt and pepper to taste

Blend all ingredients well in a mixing bowl. Set aside

Ingredients for frying:

• Fresh Louisiana catfish
• Oil for deep frying
• Pontchartrain Seafood's batter fry (mild, spicy, extra spicy)

Steps for frying:

Preheat enough oil to 375 degrees to cover fish by approximately 1 or 2 inches. Dip fish in eggwash and then into batter. Deep-fry catfish until golden brown or a good guideline for doneness is to remove fish from hot oil when they begin floating to the surface. Continue process until all catfish are done.
