Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup Creole or whole-grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 teaspoons Rustic Rub

- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
- Solid vegetable shortening for deep-frying
Directions
- Combine the milk, mustard, Tabasco, salt, cayenne, black pepper, and 2 teaspoons of the rub in a bowl and mix well. Add the catfish and submerge. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
