Number Of Ingredients 11

4-6 catfish fillets, about 1-2 pounds
1 cup milk or buttermilk
salt
3/4 cup fine cornmeal (do not use coarsely ground cornmeal)
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
oil for frying (use peanut oil if you can)

Steps:

  • 1. In a heavy frying pan (I prefer to use cast iron), pour enough oil to come 1/2 inch up the sides of the pan. Turn the heat to medium-high. Turn your oven to 200° and lay a cookie sheet inside. Place a wire rack on top of the cookie sheet. 2 While the oil is heating, soak the catfish in the milk or buttermilk. Mix the cornmeal, flour and spices together. (Or you can substitute your favorite seasoning instead.) Let the oil reach 350 degrees - a good test is to flick a little of the dry breading into the oil, and if it sizzles at once, you're good to go.

This recipe is a lifesaver! I'm not a great cook, but I was able to make this dish and it turned out great. My family loved it.

I've never had catfish before, but this recipe made me a fan. The fish was mild and flaky, and the breading was crispy and flavorful.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The catfish was cooked to perfection and the sauce was incredible.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover catfish. The fish cakes were crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.

I'm not a big fan of catfish, but this recipe was pretty good. The fish was cooked well and the breading was tasty.

This recipe was a disaster. The catfish was overcooked and the breading was soggy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The catfish was a bit dry, but the breading was good.

This recipe is easy to follow and the catfish turned out great. I used a seasoned cornmeal mix for the breading and it was perfect. The fish was crispy and flavorful.

I've tried many fried catfish recipes, but this one is by far the best. The catfish was cooked perfectly and the breading was delicious. I highly recommend this recipe.

This fried catfish recipe is a keeper! The fish was crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. The cornmeal breading was well-seasoned and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
