2. Prep the Catfish:
➔Pat the catfish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Prepare the Coating:
➔In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder for the coating.
4. Coat the Catfish:
➔Dredge each catfish fillet in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
5. Dip in Egg Mixture:
