Speaker's Catch Recipe

Directions for Preparing Speaker's Catch

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Rinse the catfish filets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

2. 2

   Season the Catfish

   In a shallow dish, season the flour with salt and black pepper. Dredge each catfish filet in the seasoned flour, making sure to coat both sides evenly.

3. 3

   Set Up Breading Station

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. In another shallow dish, place the cornmeal. Dip each flour-coated filet first in the egg mixture and then in the cornmeal, pressing to adhere.

4. 4

   Fry the Catfish

   In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded catfish filets. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the filets and drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Prepare the Vegetables

   While the fish is frying, slice the tomato and onion into thin rings. Rinse the lettuce leaves if necessary.

6. 6

   Toast the Buns

   In another skillet or on a grill, toast the hamburger buns until golden brown.

7. 7

   Assemble the Sandwiches

   Spread a generous amount of tartar sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a lettuce leaf on each, followed by the fried catfish filet, onion rings, and tomato slices. Top with the other half of the bun.

8. 8

   Serve

   Serve the sandwiches warm with extra tartar sauce on the side, if desired.
