Cornmeal-Fried Catfish Preparation

1

Prepare the Catfish

In a bowl, combine buttermilk, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Soak the catfish fillets in the mixture for at least 30 minutes.

2

Coat the Fillets

In a shallow dish, mix cornmeal and flour. Dredge each soaked catfish fillet in the cornmeal mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

3

Fry the Catfish

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the coated catfish fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
