THE DAY BEFORE - combine the mustard with egg and add the catfish.
Cover and marinate overnight.
The next day, place enough oil in an 8 quart saucepan or dutch oven (or fryer) to hold the catfish fillets in two batches (up to eight cups of oil).

Roll the catfish fillets in the dry mix.
Shake off the excess and fry about 5 minutes until golden brown.
