Cajun Catfish Recipe

Possibly one of the best cajun catfish recipes we have ever tasted.

Ingredients

2 pounds of catfish fillets
2 ½ ounces of hot pepper sauce
1.5 cups strawberry jam
½ cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
¼ cup cocktail sauce
1 clove of garlic chopped
2 tablespoons horseradish
pinch of salt
pinch of pepper
3/4 cup cornmeal
3/4 cup Flour
1/2 cup vegetable oil

Mix salt, pepper, and hot sauce in bowl. Place catfish in mixture to allow the fish to marinate for at minimum 1 hour in the refrigerator. Overnight allows hot sauce to penetrate fish. In a saucepan over low heat stir strawberry jam, vinegar, soy sauce, cocktail sauce, horseradish and garlic. In a plastic bag combine cornmeal and flour. Place catfish in bag and shake to coat fish. Heat oil in large skillet on high heat, oil should not smoke, if it begins to smoke turn the heat down. Place catfish in oil and fry until fish is golden brown. Serve catfish and sauce together.
