Cut the catfish fillets into bite-sized nuggets, about
5-inch pieces.
Place the catfish nuggets in a bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Toss to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
In a shallow dish, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Remove the catfish nuggets from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off.
Dredge each nugget in the cornmeal mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating. Place coated nuggets on a plate.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Fry the catfish nuggets in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the nuggets with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
