Fried Catfish Sandwich

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Slaw

In a bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrot, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside to marinate.

2

Prepare the Catfish

In a shallow dish, mix cornmeal, flour, cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. In another dish, pour buttermilk.

3

Coat the Catfish

Dip each catfish fillet into the buttermilk, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture until fully coated.

4

Fry the Catfish

In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the catfish fillets for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5

Prepare the Sauce

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with hot sauce to create the house hot sauce mayo.

6

Assemble the Sandwich

Toast the burger buns on a griddle. Spread the hot sauce mayo on the bottom bun, add the fried catfish, top with lemon slaw and dill pickles, then place the top bun.

7

Serve

Serve the fried catfish sandwich with a side of crispy french fries.
