Fried Fish Po'Boy Ingredients
Method
Fried Fish Po'Boy Directions
Prepare the Fish
In a bowl, soak the fish fillets in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes to tenderize and flavor them.
Prepare the Coating
In a shallow dish, mix together the cornmeal, flour, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Coat the Fish
Remove the fish from the buttermilk and dredge each piece in the cornmeal mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
Fry the Fish
Carefully place the coated fish fillets in the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Assemble the Po'Boys
Slice the French bread or rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Spread remoulade sauce on both sides, then layer with fried fish, lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles.
Serve
Serve the fried fish po'boys immediately while hot, with extra remoulade on the side if desired.
