Tips:
- When choosing catfish fillets, look for ones that are firm and have a mild, sweet flavor. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a strong fishy smell.
- To ensure even cooking, make sure the catfish fillets are of uniform thickness. If necessary, use a sharp knife to trim the fillets to the same thickness.
- Season the catfish fillets generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- For a crispy crust, coat the catfish fillets in a mixture of flour and cornmeal before frying. You can also add your favorite seasonings to the coating, such as paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the catfish fillets. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
- Cook the catfish fillets over medium heat until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the fillets should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the catfish fillets immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or hush puppies.
