Tips

  • For extra crispy catfish, ensure the oil is hot before adding the mixture to the pan. Don't overcrowd the pan, cook the omelets in batches if necessary.
  • You can also add a pinch of sugar to the egg mixture for a touch of sweetness if preferred, or serve with a side of chili sauce for an extra kick.
