Southern Fried Catfish Recipe

	Saltymike / All my dishes 1 year, 9 months ago Where I come from, a seven course meal is simply a mess of fried catfish and a sixpack of cold beers. This is the way we fix up the catfish. We take the beer just as it comes! Prep:20m Cook:30m Servings:6	Saltymike

Ingredients

4-5 lbs catfish fillets

1 cup finely ground yellow corn meal

1 cup all purpose flour

2 tsp salt

½-¾ tsp ground black pepper

2 tsp granulated garlic

2 tsp granulated onion

ground cayenne pepper to taste

2 eggs, beaten

½ cup buttermilk

1 Tbsp Louisiana style hot sauce

oil for frying, enough to completely submerge fish

Directions

Heat oil to 375.

Rinse catfish fillets and place on paper towel to drain.

Place corn meal, flour, salt, black and red pepper, granulated garlic and granulated onion in a large shallow bowl and mix well.

Place eggs, buttermilk, and hot sauce in a bowl and mix well.

Soak catfish fillets in buttermilk/egg mixture for 5-10 minutes.

Remove fillets a few at a time from the buttermilk/egg mixture, shake off excess and roll in cornmeal flour mixture.

Fry in hot oil until golden brown. Season as necessary and serve up hot.

Note: I use catfish fillets for convenience. The fillets are simple to rinse and cook. If you like, you can use whole catfish. Try to avoid frozen fish. Select smaller fish such as Channel Catfish, dress and skin, leaving tails and fins on. Prepare as noted above.
