My wife found this recipe about 10 years ago, and we haven't fixed it any other way since. This is about as simple as it gets. Ingredients:
4 farm-raised catfish fillets |
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal |
1/4 cup flour |
2 teaspoons salt |
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/2 teaspoon garlic granules |
olive oil, for pan frying |
tartar sauce or lemon wedge, as accompaniment (optional) |
Directions:
1. Rinse fillets, and pat dry.
2. Combine all dry ingredients in a shallow dish.
3. Dredge catfish in flour cornmeal mixture, pressing on breading so it adheres to fish, and place on waxed paper.
4. Fry catfish in a large skillet in about 1/4 of hot oil (about 350 degrees F) until golden brown on both sides, about 6-8 minutes total.
5. Drain on paper towels.
6. Serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.
