Bread the Catfish
Remove the catfish from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each fillet in the cornmeal mixture, ensuring an even coating.

Fry the Catfish
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the catfish fillets in batches for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

While the catfish is frying, toast the Texas toast in another skillet or toaster until golden brown.
