Catfish Platter Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Catfish

    In a shallow bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.

  2. 2

    Coat the Catfish

    Dip each catfish fillet first into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, and then dredge in the cornmeal mixture to coat well.

  3. 3

    Fry the Catfish

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the coated catfish fillets into the skillet. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Prepare French Fries

    While the catfish is frying, cook the French fries according to package instructions until crispy.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Platter

    On a large serving plate, arrange the fried catfish fillets, crispy French fries, and a generous portion of mixed salad greens. Serve with slices of bread and lemon wedges on the side.
