Fried Catfish

Method

Assembly

  1. 1

    Prepare the Catfish

    Soak the catfish fillets in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Dredge the Fillets

    In a shallow dish, mix the cornmeal, flour, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Remove catfish from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture.

  3. 3

    Fry the Catfish

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the catfish fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Po' Boy

    Slice French bread or hoagie rolls. Place fried catfish on the bread, and top with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and remoulade sauce.
