Catfish Po'Boy Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Catfish

In a bowl, soak the catfish fillets in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes.

2

Mix the Coating

In a shallow dish, combine cornmeal, flour, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.

3

Coat the Catfish

Remove catfish from buttermilk and dredge in the cornmeal mixture, ensuring it's well-coated.

4

Heat the Oil

In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

5

Fry the Catfish

Fry the catfish fillets in the hot oil for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6

Assemble the Po'Boy

Slice the French bread loaves lengthwise and spread remoulade sauce on the inside. Layer with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and fried catfish.

7

Serve

Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately with extra remoulade on the side.
