Fried Catfish

• 1 cup whole-grain Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce
• 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
• 1 pound thin catfish fillets
• About 4 cups canola oil, for frying
• 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1. In a large bowl, stir together the mustard, hot sauce and egg white.
2. Add the fish and toss to coat well.
3. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
4. Pour the oil into a Dutch oven, filling it no more than one-third full.
5. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
6. Line a plate with paper towels and set by the cooktop.
7. In a shallow dish, combine the cornmeal and flour and season with salt and pepper.
8. Remove the fish from the marinade and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
