EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

If you can't find catfish nuggets at your supermarket, you can purchase 2 pounds of catfish fillets and cut them into about 2-inch pieces.

A staple in Georgia and Mississippi, fried catfish morsels are dynamite dunked in tangy tartar sauce and served with coleslaw and baked beans.

For crispier but less greasy results, substitute peanut oil for vegetable oil. decrease flour and increase corn meal.
