2. In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, crushed pork rinds, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
3. In another bowl, beat the egg.
4. Dip each catfish fillet into the egg, then coat it with the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
5. Carefully place the coated fillets into the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
