The buttermilk marinade does two things in this recipe: first, it helps "mellow" the catfish flavor a bit (which can be somewhat strong). Second, it helps adhere the seasoned flour mixture. So when you remove the fish from the marinade don't dry it off, just let the excess drip off. Unlike some fish, catfish holds up to deep-frying very well. These nuggets are crispy and tasty without being dried out. Make sure to serve them with a dipping sauce like tartar sauce.
