- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves, crushed
- 3/4 cup beer, room temperature
- 1 egg, lightly beaten

- In a medium bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, baking powder, paprika, peppers, and oregano.
- Whisk in beer and egg until smooth. Add catfish. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
