Crispy Southern-Style Catfish with Cornmeal Crust and Cajun Flavor
Ingredients:
4 catfish fillets
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Vegetable oil, for frying
Lemon wedges and chopped parsley, for garnish
Directions:
In a shallow dish, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Add catfish fillets and marinate for 30–60 minutes in the fridge.

Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
Remove catfish from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off. Dredge each fillet in the cornmeal mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot with lemon wedges and chopped parsley.
