Fish Fry... with two sauces for dipping!

Thanks to my brother Charlie, I am stocked up on catfish once again. 

He is my main source, and why not? He brought in this 42 pounder!

I have already baked some in the oven with onion and lemon. (my favorite way to bake fish) So now on to frying some! 

Easy Fish Fry

• Fish... catfish, cut into nuggets
• Oil for frying
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal

Mix flour, cornmeal and seasonings in a plastic container with lid (big enough to fit fish inside). Place fish in the flour mixture and carefully shake. Remove fish and fry in deep fryer set at 350 degrees until golden brown and fish floats.

I didn't have any relish for the tartar sauce,

so I just left it out. It was still very tasty!
