Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix buttermilk, water, salt, and pepper. Pour mixture into a flat pan large enough to hold the fillets. Spread fish in one layer over bottom of pan, turning to coat each side, and set aside to marinate.
  • In a 2 gallon resealable plastic bag, combine the cornmeal, flour, and seafood seasoning. Add fish to mixture, a few fillets at a time, and tumble gently to coat evenly.
  • Heat oil in deep fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
  • Deep fry fillets until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Avoid overcrowding so fillets have room to brown properly. Fish should be slightly crisp outside, and moist and flaky inside. Drain on paper towels.

EASY CRISPY FRIED CATFISH

This is a simple and delicious southern fried catfish recipe that I learned from my grandma. This is the same catfish you get in Texas home cooking restaurants, but with less grease. The measurements are not exact, but are very easy to figure out. Serve hot with tartar sauce. Mmmmmm!

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, fill pan with 1/2 inch of vegetable oil. Turn on heat to medium or medium high heat.
  • Dip catfish in milk, then in cornmeal. Shake off excess cornmeal.
  • Once oil is hot, begin frying fish in batches until they are golden brown. Flip fish so each side is cooked evenly.
  • (On the 2nd or3rd batch of fish, you may want to reduce the pan heat because it will be extra hot). Add extra oil if needed.
  • Drain fish on paper towels and sprinkle with salt or seasoning salt.
  • Serve hot with tartar sauce.
