Thoroughly clean the catfish fillets and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Prepare the ingredients for breading: place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate bowls.
Dredge the catfish fillets first in the flour, then in the eggs, and finally in the breadcrumbs. Ensure that the breading covers the fillets evenly on all sides.
In a large skillet, melt the rendered duck fat over medium heat. Fry the breaded catfish fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the fried fish to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess fat.
Serve the fried catfish fillet garnished with fresh parsley, lemon wedges, and your favorite side dishes, such as roasted potatoes or a salad.
