Preheat an oven to 425 F. Grease a baking sheet cooking spray and set aside.

Rinse the catfish fillets, and pat very dry with paper towel. In a shallow bowl, combine the cornmeal, creole seasoning, paprika, sugar, and black pepper. Combine the eggs and water in a another bowl. Dip the fillets in the egg mixture, dredge in the cornmeal mixture, and arrange on the baking sheet.

Bake for 15 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown. Turn once during cooking. Place catfish on a paper-towel lined plate, and serve immediately with hot sauce or tartar sauce.
