Catfish Preparation
Method
Preparation Steps
Prepare the Catfish
Rinse the catfish fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Set Up Breading Stations
In three separate shallow dishes, prepare the breading stations: one with cornmeal, one with crushed potato chips, and one with a mixture of beaten eggs and milk.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.
Fry the Catfish
Carefully add the breaded catfish fillets to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, transfer the catfish to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
