Heat lard in a heavy bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350° F
Using a stand mixer, beat egg thoroughly and whisk coconut flour, baking powder, cayenne, salt and pepper
Slowly whisk in ice water until mixture reaches the consistency of pancake batter
Dredge catfish fillets in batter and carefully fry in lard until golden brown. About 5 minutes. You may have to do this in batches.
Using a slotted spoon, remove catfish from lard and place on a cooling rack to drain.
Sweet Potato Fries
Using the same fryer as the catfish, fry sweet potatoes until golden brown. About 5 minutes
When fries are golden brown, remove from lard and place on a paper towel to drain. Salt fries immediately
Spicy Slaw
In a large mixing bowl, combine cabbage and carrots and set aside
Blend mayo, vinegar, celery salt, salt and pepper in a food processor
Add ¾ cup of the spicy mayo to cabbage and carrots and mix thoroughly. Use remaining ¼ cup of the spicy mayo as a dipping sauce for catfish and sweet potato fries
