Preparation:
Note: You need a lot of Cajun spice mix for this recipe. If you use less, you will not taste the Cajun spices in the cooked batter.
Mix batter: In a glass bowl, beat egg and add Cajun seasoning and flour. Slowly add the beer to get a batter consistency like waffle batter.
Cut the catfish filets into 2-3 inch long pieces and pat dry on a paper towel.
Heat oil about 2 inches deep in deep frying pan and adjust temperature to about 375F.
Take a piece of fish and with a fork, dip it in the batter and then let excess batter drip off. Place fish in the hot oil and fry to a deep golden brown.
Serve with a red spicy cocktail sauce.
