Soak the catfish fillets in buttermilk and 2 tsp creole seasoning in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
Remove the catfish from the buttermilk bath. Lightly pat them dry with a paper towel.
Mix the corn flour, corn meal and 4 tsp of creole seasoning together.
Cut the catfish in into 1 inch strips. Dredge them in the corn flour mixture ensuring the fish are completely.
In a deep frypan pour oil so that it is about 1/2 inch deep. Heat to medium/high. If you are able to measure the temperature of the oil, it should be between 350F and 375F.
Place fish in the oil and cook for about 7 minutes per side. The breading should brown up. Once both sides are cooked place on a paper towel to drain some of the oil.
