Easy fish nuggets with a pancake mix and bread crumb batter.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 8 minutes

Ingredients:

  • Canola oil for frying
  • 3 pounds fish fillets
  • lemon pepper
  • garlic salt
  • 1 cup pancake mix
  • 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 egg, beaten

Preparation:

Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat (about 350° to 365°). Cut fish in bite-sized pieces. Lightly sprinkle with lemon pepper and garlic salt. Combine pancake mix and bread crumbs in a large plastic food storage bag. Dip fish in a mixture of beaten egg and water. Place fish in bag to coat with crumbs. Fry in hot oil for 7 to 8 minutes, or until golden brown, turning once.

wow! Fantastic fried catfish nuggets!July 31, 2008By RosemaryThomas
"I really loved this recipe because my husband does not like his catfish fried with cornmeal. I always use flour. So for both of us, I can only say this recipe is definitely a keeper for now on. I have been telling all of our friends about this one. Thanks again!!"
