Amazingly easy and perfect recipe to use for fish tacos! Fill warmed tortillas with Will's Spicy New Orleans Catfish fries, shredded lettuce, diced (fresh) tomatoes, taco cheese, and salsa.

I've fried catfish for decades and also come to allrecipes all the time to try dishes and rarely give a review, but late this evening I tried this for a snack, not deviating too much from similar methods. Since I didn't have corn flour on hand I quickly googled it and found I could make it myself by milling corn meal in the Vitamix. So I did. Only after cooking the recipe did I realize that instead of using the teaspoon or so of paprika, I had grabbed red pepper instead. Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly as written. Gosh, this is an outstanding way to fry up catfish. I actually like the red pepper but next time I'll probably use half paprika and half red pepper to tone down the heat. Thanks so much for, yes, a simple recipe but with a unique and delicious twist.

Easy and just spicy enough. I like fried fish but not a big fan of catfish but I followed the recipe. Once the fish was fried I cooked tatter tots in the oil for the best tots I have ever eaten. Next time I will use some other fish, but that's the only thing I would change.

I've been cooking catfish pretty much this way for 30 years; however, I dry "marinate" also with salt and pepper as well as the cayenne and cut my strips thicker. This breading method works well for frying chicken, but using wheat flour instead of corn meal or corn flour.

Great, simple and delicious. I also used a bit more cayenne the 2nd time around. Along with mixing cornmeal with flour- I added season salt, garlic powder & pinch of pepper. It's a great base recipe- I say tweak it how you like and go from there, afterall- nobody knows your families 'taste' better than you!

This recipe is so simple yet so good! I highly recommend it. Try making some collard greens, dipping sauce and sweet potato fries to go with it

Mine took about 20 minutes to cook through prior to that each test piece was still raw in the middle. Followed the instructions exactly and it was good. The next time I added seasoned pepper to the corn flour mix.

My husband and kids love this fish! I still do the cayenne pepper part, but instead of the corn flour, I used Zatarain's seasoned fish-fri. I thought the cayenne might make it too spicy for the kids, but it didn't. It was quick, easy, and delicious. I have made it at least 4 times since finding this recipe.
