Method
Preparing the Fish
- 1
Marinate the Fish
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk with the fish fillets. Make sure the fish is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to an hour for best flavor.
- 2
Prepare the Breading
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. This will be your breading mixture.
- 3
Heat Oil for Frying
In a large, deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Bread the Fish
Remove the fish from the buttermilk and allow excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
- 5
Fry the Fish
Carefully place the breaded fish fillets in the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Assembling the Po'boys
- 6
Prepare the Baguette
Slice the French baguette or hoagie rolls lengthwise, leaving one side attached to create a hinge.
- 7
Add the Lettuce
Layer shredded lettuce on the bottom of the bread to create a bed for the fish.
- 8
Add the Fried Fish
Place 2-3 pieces of fried fish on top of the lettuce in each sandwich.
- 9
Top with Tomatoes and Pickles
Add sliced tomatoes and pickles on top of the fish.
- 10
Finish with Remoulade Sauce
Generously drizzle remoulade sauce over the top of the fillings, then close the sandwich.
- 11
Serve
Cut the po'boys in half and serve immediately while hot, accompanied by extra remoulade on the side if desired.
