How to make A FRIED CATFISH at Home
Ingredients
8-10, 3 oz catfish filet shanks
2 lbs. of Corn Meal
2 TBSP salt
1 TBSP Pepper
Fry Daddy or Heavy Dutch oven with 1-2 inches of oil
Note: If using the Dutch oven you must watch the oil carefully. Measure temperature using a candy thermometer. Must be at 350 F.
Preparation
Mix the salt, pepper and cornmeal in a shallow dish or bowl
Take a thawed catfish filet and dip it in water or buttermilk and place it in the breading
Cover the wet filet with the breading and press the corn meal in to the filet
Repeat as necessary until all filets are coated
Using tongs or a fork, lower the breaded filets into 350F oil or shortening (peanut or soybean oil works well) being careful not to splash oil on your hands
Cook 8-10 minutes or until the catfish is golden and floats to the surface
Serve with tartar sauce and cole slaw
