Cornmeal-Crusted Trout/Catfish
- 4 -5 medium trout fillets (Catfish works well with this recipe also)
- 13 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 14 cup nuts, finely chopped (any kind will do, but I prefer either almonds or pecans)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 14 teaspoon pepper
- 14 teaspoon paprika
- 14 teaspoon ground cumin
- vegetable oil (about 1 inch in a frying pan)
- Beat egg with water in a shallow bowl.
- Roll trout in the flour.
- In a small paper or large ziplock bag, combine cornmeal, chopped nuts, salt, pepper, paprika, and ground cumin.
- One piece at a time, dip fish in egg and then place in bag and toss to coat.
- Heat veggie oil in frying pan over medium heat.
- Fry fish in oil, turning once, till both sides are brown (approx 10 minutes total).
- You can tell when the fish is done, because you can flake it with a fork.
- My hubby likes to sprinkle a little lemon or lime juice on his fish, but I like it just the way it is!
