Dip catfish fingers in well-beaten egg, draining off excess, and then coat well in seasoned panko breadcrumbs and place on waxed paper – refrigerate until time to cook.
Heat a heavy stick free skillet to 360 degrees and add oil, obviously the more oil you use the nicer the fingers will fry – however, with a good stick free pan, you can get excellent results with a just a little oil.
Serve on top of a mound of finely shredded cabbage, with lemon wedges, and a sauce of your choice.
