Crispy catfish that hasn’t been deep-fried, which is bad. Serve with cocktail or tartar sauce on the side.

Ingredients

  1. 1 pound catfish fillets, cut into 1 inch pieces
  2. 3/4 cup seasoned fish fry coating (such as Louisiana® Fish Fry Products)
  3. nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Place seasoned breading mix in a gallon-size plastic resealable bag. Drop catfish pieces inside, close, and shake to coat fish with breading on all sides.

Looks good, tastes great

These were ok. But I think I will stick to pan frying my fish – much better control in getting them to the right doneness.

I buy the nuggets from Kroger for 2.99 LB. The Filets are 7.00 LB. I use the nuggets to make PoBoys. They work perfectly….. I use Louisiana New Orleans Style Fish Fry. The recipe does not need any tweaking at all. The nuggets I get are from the belly flap, they are too small to be sold as filets and have too much great meat to be thrown away, and they are already the right size.

You only need a little spray oil or they get very soggy, otherwise so easy and yummy with tartar sauce!

It was easy and tasty. I don’t use anything but almond four or nutcrumbs. Used spicy nutcrumbs for this dish.
