Southern Fried Catfish Recipe
Fish and Chips

Here is an old time classic southern fried catfish recipe using fresh fish fillets that have been battered and deep fried to a perfect golden brown color... Crispy on the outside, and moist and flaky on the inside.

It's great as snack by itself, or as a meal when combined with your choice of a side such as steak fries or regular french fries. Add a dipping sauce such as tartar sauce, or drizzled with malt vinegar and we are off to the races.

I'm salivating with anticipation.

Southern Fried Catfish With Steak Fries

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs catfish fillets
• 1 cup cornmeal
• ¼ tsp pepper
• corn oil

Directions:

Cut the catfish fillets into pieces or keep whole. Coat the fish fillets in cornmeal and season with pepper mixture.

Heat about 1 inch of oil in a frying pan to about 350°. Add a few pieces of the fish, without overcrowding the pan, and cook the fish for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain to pat dry onto paper towels and serve.
