In a bowl, combine all Marinade ingredients and marinate the Catfish fillets for 15 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine all Coating ingredients.
Dredge each marinated Catfish fillet in the Coating mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
Heat Vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Carefully place the coated Catfish fillets into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet.
Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fried Catfish and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately.
