Gopher's Breading for Deep Fried Catfish

Step 1: Mix dry ingredients and add to a square tupperwear bowl or a gallon zip lock bag.

Step 2: Dip catfish in a mild egg mixture and shake off excess mixture.

Step 3: Drop pieces of fish into the coating mix in the Zip-Loc bag or plastic bowl with cover on and shake until catfish are well coated.

Step 4: Shake off excess dry coating and place on a plate.

Step 5: Put 1 inch of oil in a large cast iron frying pan or use a deep fryer, and heat to 350 degrees. If using the stove heat on high heat until the oil comes to temperature, then turn down to medium-high. Fill the pan/fryer quickly with the catfish, and fry until golden brown (If using a frying pan cook on one side until golden brown then flip over and brown the other side).

Step 6: When fish are golden brown, drain on a paper towel lined platter, and serve hot.
