1 ½ pounds catfish fillets, sliced on the diagonal into 1-inch strips
½ cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons EMERIL'S DIJON MUSTARD
2 tablespoons EMERIL'S FISH RUB
1 teaspoon EMERIL'S ORIGINAL ESSENCE
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons red hot sauce
1 cup flour
2/3 cup cornmeal
¼ teaspoon salt
 Vegetable oil for frying
 Favorite tartar sauce for serving, optional
 
   
  Place the catfish in a nonreactive bowl. In a second bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, mustard, 1 tablespoon of the Fish Rub, Essence, garlic, and hot sauce and pour over the fish. Stir to thoroughly coat, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat a large saucepan with 4 inches of oil to 350 degrees F. Remove the fish from the refrigerator. Combine the flour, cornmeal, remaining tablespoon of Fish Rub and salt in a resealable plastic food storage bag and shake to blend. Using a fork, remove the fish fingers, a few pieces at a time, from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to fall from the fish. Transfer the fish to the seasoned cornmeal mixture and toss to coat. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining fish. Fry the fish, in batches if necessary and turning to promote even browning, until golden brown, crispy and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper-lined plate to rest briefly before serving hot with your favorite tartar sauce.  Makes 4 servings
