Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb catfish nuggets
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions

  • Place flour on a large plate.
  • Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. (Use two pans if cooking all the fish at once.)
  • Roll each catfish nugget in flour, coating both sides.
  • Place the nuggets in the frying pan. Cook for 4 minutes, or until golden-brown underneath.
  • Flip the nuggets and cook for another 4 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper while hot.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite sides!

Notes

  • Catfish is naturally oily, so no additional oil is needed for frying if using a non-stick pan.
  • Serve these nuggets with roasted potatoes, yellow rice, or a refreshing mango salsa for a complete meal.
