Instructions *** 2-22-2012 very good, made with swordfish chunks *** 4-1-09 well I made this as a meal not an appetizer, had a piece of swordfish and two tilapia filets which were cut into chunks, (probably any firm white fish would work)and then pretty much followed the instructions, used 1/3 cup franks and no tobasco, served with blue cheese dressing not the ranch dressing, I thought it was excellent, Joellyn thought it was ok *** The inspiration for this appetizer is Buffalo chicken wings. We breaded and baked catfish strips, then drizzled them with a spicy sauce. If you don't like spicy foods, omit the hot pepper sauce. 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper 2 large egg whites, lightly beaten 1 1/2 cups coarsely crushed cornflakes 1 pound catfish fillets, cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips Cooking spray 1/3 cup hot sauce (such as Crystal) 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco) 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon butter 1/2 cup fat-free ranch dressing 4 celery stalks, cut into 1/4 x 3-inch sticks 4 carrots, cut into 1/4 x 3-inch sticks Preheat oven to 400¦. Combine first 6 ingredients in a shallow dish, stirring with a whisk. Place egg whites in a shallow dish. Place cornflakes in a shallow dish. Working with 1 fish strip at a time, dredge in flour mixture. Dip in egg whites; dredge in cornflakes. Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Repeat procedure with remaining fish strips, flour mixture, egg whites, and cornflakes. Lightly coat fish strips with cooking spray. Bake at 400¦ for 10 minutes or until done, turning once. Combine hot sauce, pepper sauce, and Worcestershire in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in butter. Drizzle hot sauce mixture over fish. Serve with ranch dressing, celery, and carrots.
