While the catfish soaks, in a medium bowl or shallow baking dish, whisk together corn flour, cornmeal, and Creole seasoning. Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Pat fillets dry with a napkin or paper towel. Working in batches, dredge the fish in the seasoned corn flour mixture, shake off excess, and transfer to prepared wire rack. Repeat dredging process with remaining fillets. Refrigerate fish for 15 minutes.

Carefully add half the fish to the oil and cook, stirring occasionally with a spider skimmer, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer cooked fish to second wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and lined with paper towels. Season with salt to taste. Repeat with remaining fillets.
