Farm-Raised Catfish Fingers

2-1/2 pounds genuine U.S. farm-raised catfish fillets, cut into 1 inch wide strips

2 cups finely ground white cornmeal

2 teaspoons salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1-1/2 quarts peanut oil

Spicy Dipping Sauce

1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper, or to taste

Farm-Raised Catfish Fingers: Season farm-raised catfish strips carefully with salt and pepper. Set aside. Combine cornmeal, salt and pepper.
