Fried Catfish

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Catfish

    Soak the catfish fillets in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes to tenderize and flavor.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow dish, combine cornmeal, flour, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Coat the Fish

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Catfish

    Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the catfish for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Make the Remoulade

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped capers, chopped pickles, lemon juice, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Side

    In another bowl, combine coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Toss to combine.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Plate the fried catfish with a generous dollop of remoulade and serve alongside the coleslaw.
