Cajun Fried Fish

We made fish and chips for dinner tonight.  DELICIOUS as Cooper would say.  He told us "I'm allergic to fish."  No, your not, just try it.  He did.... "YUM, I love fish."  HAHA.
Ingredients:
2 Large catfish pieces/filets.
Vegetable oil for frying
1 Cup flour
1/4 Cup cajun seasoning (We used "Slap Yo Mamma" seasoning...so good)
1 tsp Pepper
1 Cup beer.  We used Miller light.

Directions:
*In a bowl, mix your flour, spices, and pepper.

*Once mixed, add your beer.  Mix again.

*Cut your fish fillets into smaller pieces.

*Dredge your fish pieces into a small amount of flour to coat.  The beer/spice mixture will adhere better if your fillets are coated in a bit of flour.


*Put your oil into a large pan/skillet on the stove.  Turn heat onto medium.  Put a tiny bit of water onto your fingertips.  Shake your fingers off over the oil.  If the water "pops" and boils, your oil is ready for frying.  Be super careful, and also, don't turn your heat on too high, it will burn your food and is really dangerous!  Be patient!!!

*Coat your fish pieces into the beer batter.

*Put 4-5 pieces of the coated fish into the oil.  Be careful they don't touch one another...they won't cool properly!


*Cook each side until they darken to a nice medium brown color.

*Flip all fish pieces.

*Line a plate with paper towels.

*Put your cooked fish pieces onto the plate.


*Serve with a smidgen of lemon juice if you want!  Enjoy!!
