--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4      pounds        catfish fillet
   1      cup           milk for soaking
     1/2  cup           flour
   1 1/2  cups          cornmeal
                        salt and pepper to taste
   2      teaspoons     crab & shrimp seasoning -- (Bookbinders/Old Bay
                        oil for deep or pan frying

Cut the fillets into serving pieces of about 4 oz each. Soak all the fish in the milk for 1 hour. Mix the flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper, and the crab and shrimp seasoning together. Drain the fish and dredge in the cornmeal mixture. 

Deep fry in 375 oil, a few pieces at a time, until golden brown. Keep pieces warm in a 200 oven until all is complete, or pan fry on both sides in a bit of oil until fish is lightly browned and done to your liking. Do not overcook.
