Classic Fried Catfish image

My wife found this recipe at www.catfish.com about 10 years ago, and we haven't fixed it any other way since. This is about as simple as it gets.

Categories     Catfish

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

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)

Steps:

  • Rinse fillets, and pat dry.
  • Combine all dry ingredients in a shallow dish.
  • Dredge catfish in flour cornmeal mixture, pressing on breading so it adheres to fish, and place on waxed paper.
  • 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.
  • Drain on paper towels.
  • Serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.

I'm not a big fan of catfish, but this recipe changed my mind. The catfish was delicious and the batter was amazing.

This recipe is a keeper! The catfish was crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. The batter was flavorful and well-seasoned.

This recipe was a total fail. The catfish was overcooked and the batter was too thick. I ended up throwing the whole thing away.

The catfish was a bit bland, but the batter was delicious. I think I'll try adding some more spices to the batter next time.

Overall, this was a good recipe. The catfish was cooked perfectly and the batter was flavorful. I would have liked the batter to be a bit crispier, but that's just personal preference.

I've tried many fried catfish recipes, and this one is by far the best. The catfish was moist and flaky, and the batter was crispy and flavorful. Will definitely be making this again!
