List of Ingredients
Southern Fried Catfish
12 4-5 ounce catfish fillets
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 cup vegetable oil, or lard for fryingRecipe
Wash the catfish fillets, cut them into serving size pieces, and set aside.
Whisk the eggs and milk and place in a shallow bowl.
Mix the flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper; put in a Ziploc bag or on a large plate.
Dip each fillet in the egg mixture, then coat with the cornmeal mixture.
Pour oil into a large skillet (preferably cast iron) to about 1/2" deep. Heat on medium-high heat to 375° and fry the coated catfish pieces 3 or 4 at a time, until golden brown on each side. (Make sure you avoid crowding in the pan; if you put too many pieces in, the temperature of the oil will drop and you will have greasy catfish.) Drain on paper towels and keep warm until all are cooked.
Prepare tartar sauce by mixing 1 cup mayonnaise (reduced fat is okay; non-fat is not okay) with 1/3 cup sweet relish, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon ketchup. You can adjust the measurements to your own taste. You may also want to add dried dill, fresh chopped parsley, and/or capers.
