TW Fried Catfish image

One of my favorite fried-catfish recipes when having a fish fry. This is not too spicy and is usually a crowd favorite. Adapted from one of one of my old working buddies in the late 70s. Serve with french fries or onion rings.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds catfish fillets
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning (such as Tex Joy® All Purpose), or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ (16 ounce) package saltine crackers, crumbled
1 (2.45 ounce) package sliced almonds
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon pressed garlic
1 quart peanut oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Season catfish with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Refrigerate fillets 1 to 3 hours.
  • Mix saltine crackers and almonds in a large, wide bowl. Stir milk, beaten eggs, and garlic together in a separate bowl.
  • Soak the catfish fillets in the milk mixture for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Heat peanut oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Gently press the catfish fillets into the cracker mixture to coat completely; shake to remove any loose breading.
  • Fry fillets in hot peanut oil until cooked through and floats atop the oil, about 5 minutes.

I've tried many fried catfish recipes, but this one is by far the best. The catfish was crispy on the outside and moist and flaky on the inside. The batter was also very flavorful.
