Fried Fish Po Boy Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prep the Fish

    In a large bowl, soak the white fish fillets in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes to tenderize and flavor the fish.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In a separate bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Bread the Fish

    Remove the fish from the buttermilk and allow excess to drip off. Dredge each fillet in the cornmeal mixture, ensuring it is well-coated.

  5. 5

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully place the breaded fish fillets into the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Po Boys

    Slice the baguettes lengthwise, but not all the way through. Spread a generous amount of remoulade sauce on the inside of each baguette. Place the fried fish fillets inside, then top with shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and pickles.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Cut the Po Boys in half and serve immediately with extra remoulade sauce on the side.
