Fried Fish Poboy Ingredients
Method
Fried Fish Poboy Directions
Prepare the Fish
In a large bowl, soak the fish fillets in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes to tenderize and add flavor.
Prepare the Breading
In a separate bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper together.
Bread the Fish
Remove the fish from the buttermilk and let excess drip off. Dredge each fillet in the cornmeal mixture until well-coated.
Fry the Fish
In a deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the fish fillets in batches for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Assemble the Poboys
Slice the French bread or poboy rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Spread mayonnaise on both sides, then layer with shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, and fried fish. Drizzle with hot sauce if desired.
Serve
Close the sandwich and serve immediately with extra hot sauce on the side.
