Main Ingredients

Tartar Sauce

Vegetables

Breading and Frying

Method

Preparation of Tartar Sauce

  1. 1

    Make the Tartar Sauce

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped dill pickles, lemon juice, chopped capers, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.

Frying the Catfish

  1. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In one bowl, place the cornmeal. In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with salt and pepper. In a third bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and milk.

  2. 3

    Bread the Catfish

    Dredge each catfish fillet in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat with cornmeal.

  3. 4

    Fry the Catfish

    Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the breaded catfish fillets until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Po' Boy

  1. 5

    Prepare the Hoagie

    Slice the hoagie buns in half lengthwise, but do not cut all the way through.

  2. 6

    Build the Po' Boy

    Spread a generous amount of tartar sauce on the inside of each hoagie bun. Place a layer of shredded lettuce, followed by the sliced tomato, and finally add the crispy catfish fillet on top.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately with extra tartar sauce on the side.
