Catfish Platter Recipe

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.
