Tips:
- Use farm-raised catfish: It has a milder flavor and fewer bones than wild-caught catfish.
- Season the catfish well: Use a combination of spices and herbs to create a flavorful crust. Paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper are all good choices.
- Coat the catfish in a thin layer of flour: This will help the breading adhere to the fish.
- Use a light oil for frying: Olive oil or vegetable oil are both good choices. Avoid using butter or margarine, as they will burn at high temperatures.
- Fry the catfish in a single layer: This will prevent the fish from sticking together and ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Cook the catfish until it is golden brown and flaky: This will take about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve the catfish with tartar sauce or remoulade sauce: These sauces will add flavor and richness to the fish.
Conclusion:
Oven-fried catfish is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The catfish is crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside, and the remoulade sauce adds a creamy and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
