Recipe for Crispy Fried Catfish
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) catfish fillets, skin removed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups buttermilk
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Breading Mix: In a shallow bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and cayenne pepper if using.
Mix the Buttermilk Egg Solution: In another bowl, whisk together eggs and buttermilk until well combined.
Coat the Fish: Dip each catfish fillet into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly with the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure good coverage. Allow any excess to fall off before frying.
Heat Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Fish: Carefully place the catfish fillets into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.
Drain and Serve: Use a slotted spoon to remove the fish from the oil and let it drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
Enjoy your delicious and crispy fried catfish!
