Fried Catfish Po' Boy

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Catfish

    In a bowl, combine buttermilk, salt, and black pepper. Soak the catfish fillet in the buttermilk mixture for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Breading the Catfish

    In a shallow dish, mix cornmeal, flour, salt, and black pepper. Remove catfish from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture, ensuring an even coating.

  3. 3

    Fry the Catfish

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded catfish fillet. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Po' Boy

    Slice the fresh baked rolls in half. Spread a generous amount of cajun remoulade on both sides. Place the fried catfish in the roll and top with pickles, sliced tomatoes, and coleslaw.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Po' Boy sandwiches with house chips on the side.
