A delightful twist on a classic, these crispy Cajun fish bites are paired with a tangy lemon dip for a burst of flavor in every bite.
In a bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, and hot sauce.
Ensure the mixture is well combined for even coating.
Cut the catfish fillets into bite-sized pieces and add them to the wet mixture. Let them marinate for 15 minutes.
Marinating allows the flavors to penetrate the fish.
In another bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, and Cajun seasoning.
Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of seasoning.
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F.
Use a thermometer to maintain the correct temperature.
Dredge the marinated fish pieces in the dry coating, shaking off excess, and fry in batches until golden brown, about 2 minutes per batch.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain oil temperature.
Mix the mayonnaise, dill, lemon juice, and capers in a bowl to make the dip.
Chill the dip for a more refreshing taste.
Serve the fish bites hot with the lemon dip on the side.
Garnish with lemon wedges for added presentation.
