Southern Fried Catfish
Ingredients :
Half a cup of milk
Half a cup of water
Salt / pepper
1 pound catfish fillets, sliced
1 cup fine cornmeal
All-purpose flour cup
1 tsp seafood season, ((such as Old Bay™️))
1 L vegetable oil For fry
Directions :
-In a small bowl, mix the milk, water, salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into a flat pan large enough to accommodate the fillets.
-Lay the fish out in a single layer over the bottom of the pan, turning each side to coat and set aside to marinate.
-In a 2-gallon resealable plastic bag, combine cornmeal, flour, and seafood seasoning. Add the fish to the mixture, a few fillets at a time, and mix gently until evenly coated.
-Heat oil in deep fryer to 365°F (185°C).
-Fry the fillets until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Avoid crowding so the fillets have room to brown properly. The fish should be slightly crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. Lay out paper towels.
Enjoy !
