Catfish Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Catfish Sandwich Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Catfish

    Rinse the catfish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

  2. 2

    Coat the Fillets

    Dredge the seasoned catfish fillets in cornmeal, ensuring they are evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Catfish

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

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sandwich

    Toast the potato bread slices if desired. Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice. On two of the slices, layer the fried catfish, lettuce leaves, and sliced tomato. Top with the remaining slices of bread, mayo side down.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
