1. Heat at least 2 inches of oil in a cast-iron pan or heavy skillet to 350 degrees.
2. Whip eggs with garlic and onion powder until foamy. Mix cornmeal, flour, salt and pepper together and place on a paper plate.
3. Dip catfish fillets in the seasoned egg and dredge in the cornmeal mixture. Place on a baking sheet and repeat until fillets are coated. Let fingers sit for 15 minutes. This prevents the breading from falling off.
4. Slowly lower a few catfish fingers into the hot oil and fry until golden brown. Place on paper towels to drain.
5. Serve with Tasty Fish Dipping Sauce .
