Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Catfish

    In a shallow dish, mix cornmeal and flour together. In another bowl, whisk eggs and milk together. Dip each catfish fillet first in the egg mixture, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture to coat evenly.

  2. 2

    Fry the Catfish

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated catfish fillets. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On each bun, layer a lettuce leaf, a fried catfish fillet, tomato slices, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the catfish sandwiches with a side of tangy tartar sauce for dipping.
