In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, seasoned salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, lemon pepper, and paprika.

In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and hot sauce.

Dip each catfish fillet into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides.

Place the coated fillets in the bag with the cornmeal mixture and shake until completely covered.

Set the breaded fillets on a plate and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

In a large pot or deep fryer, heat 4 inches of oil to 340°F.

Working in batches, carefully lower the catfish fillets into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, roughly 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove the fried catfish from the oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.

Let the catfish cool for 5 minutes, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.
