Marinate the Catfish
In a large bowl, pour the buttermilk over the catfish fillets. Allow the fillets to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

In a separate bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.

Coat the Catfish
Remove the catfish fillets from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off. Dip each fillet into the cornmeal mixture, ensuring it is thoroughly coated.
