Ingredients:  
½ Cup buttermilk
½ Cup water
1 Pound catfish fillets, cut in strips
1 ½ Cups fine cornmeal
1/2 Cup all-purpose flour
1 Teaspoon American Soul seafood seasoning
1 Teaspoon Lemon pepper
1 Teaspoon Cajun seasoning
Salt to taste
1-Quart vegetable oil for deep frying
Directions:
Directions:
In a small bowl, mix buttermilk, water, salt, and lemon pepper. Pour mixture into a flat pan large enough to hold the fillets. Spread fish in one layer over the bottom of the pan, turning to coat each side, and then set aside to marinate. In a 2 gallon resealable plastic bag, combine the cornmeal, flour, American Soul seafood seasoning, and Cajun seasoning. Add fish to the mixture (a few fillets at a time), and tumble gently to coat evenly. Heat oil in a deep fryer to 365ºF. Deep fry fillets until golden brown for about 3 to 5 minutes. Avoid overcrowding so fillets have room to brown properly. Fish should be slightly crisp outside, and moist and flaky inside. Drain on paper towels.

Personal Notes:
I trusted you, but you have just taken everything from me. Now, what am I to do? What did I do to deserve this? Why did you put me here? You took away my mother, left me and my siblings to struggle in this world alone. Every other year, there were more heartaches (one after the other) to endure as a kid. With only a few happy moments during my childhood, to be crushed by more disappointments over and over again felt like a bad omen; but WHY?
