1/2 cup cornmeal
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons lemon-pepper seasoning
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups oil for frying, or as needed

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan.
3
Mix flour, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, lemon-pepper seasoning, and pepper together in a resealable bag. Pour beaten eggs into a separate resealable bag.
4
Remove catfish from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Drop catfish into the bag with eggs and shake to coat. Remove a few catfish at a time from eggs using tongs and transfer to flour mixture; shake to coat.
