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

Marinate the Catfish

In a separate bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Prepare the Breading

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

Heat the Oil

Remove the catfish from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each fillet in the cornmeal mixture, ensuring an even coating.

Bread the Catfish

Carefully place the breaded fillets into the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Fry the Catfish

Remove the fried catfish from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
