Number Of Ingredients 11

4-6 catfish fillets, about 1-2 pounds
1 cup milk or buttermilk
salt
3/4 cup fine cornmeal (do not use coarsely ground cornmeal)
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
oil for frying (use peanut oil if you can)

Steps:

  • 1. In a heavy frying pan (I prefer to use cast iron), pour enough oil to come 1/2 inch up the sides of the pan. Turn the heat to medium-high. Turn your oven to 200° and lay a cookie sheet inside. Place a wire rack on top of the cookie sheet. 2 While the oil is heating, soak the catfish in the milk or buttermilk. Mix the cornmeal, flour and spices together. (Or you can substitute your favorite seasoning instead.) Let the oil reach 350 degrees - a good test is to flick a little of the dry breading into the oil, and if it sizzles at once, you're good to go.

The breading on the catfish was a little too thick for my taste, but the flavor was good.

This fried catfish recipe is a keeper! The catfish was crispy on the outside and flaky and tender on the inside. The cornmeal breading was perfectly seasoned and gave the catfish a delicious flavor.
