1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
2. Spread pine nuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5 minutes or until golden brown. Cool. Grind 1/4 cup of the pine nuts and reserve remaining for garnish.
3. Mix ground pine nuts, cornmeal, flour, salt, cayenne pepper and cumin in a shallow dish or on a piece of wax paper. Dredge Catfish fillets in the pine nut mixture. Set aside on a wax paper-lined baking sheet.
