Fish Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Catfish

    Rinse the catfish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Make the Breading

    In a shallow dish, mix together cornmeal, all-purpose flour, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Coat the Catfish

    Dip each fillet into the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

  5. 5

    Fry the Catfish

    Carefully add the coated fillets to the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    Lightly toast the brioche buns on a skillet or grill until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread 2 tablespoons of remoulade sauce on the bottom half of each bun, then layer with lettuce, a fried catfish fillet, tomato slices, pickles, and top with the other half of the bun.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Serve the catfish sandwiches warm with additional remoulade on the side if desired.
