Catfish filets seasoned on both sides with salt, pepper, cayenne & garlic powder. Dip in buttermilk & dredge in flour.

This is great for chicken & pork chops too. Yes, I'm Southern, we fry our pork chops & most everything else :-)

I like to use cornmeal/flour for catfish. I'm certain Paula Dean would have a recipe for this.

On a recent cooking show the chef used panko crumbs and flour for fish. Japanese bread crumbs--I assume they are very fine.

This is my favorite go-to recipe for catfish. The Old Bay makes it a little spicey, so just adjust if you are cooking for children.

Quick Pan-Fried Catfish

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup Bisquick
• 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
• 4 (4- to 6-ounce) catfish fillets
• 1/2 cup Ranch dressing
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Preparation

Combine first 3 ingredients in a shallow bowl.
Pat catfish fillets dry with paper towels; brush both sides of each fillet evenly with Ranch dressing. Dredge in cornmeal mixture; lightly press cornmeal mixture onto fillets.
Cook catfish in hot vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until fish just flakes with a fork.

Sometimes I just have to deep fry catfish because it's just sooooo good that way. So, I just soak it in milk, dredge it in seasoned (salt, pepper, old bay) cornmeal, and fry. Can't beat it!

Fish Batter Recipe
Ingredients
Water (1 cup)
Salt (2 tsp)
Sugar (1 tsp)
Oil (1 tsp)
Cornstarch (1/2 cup)
All-purpose Flour (1 cup)
Baking Powder (1 tsp)

Preparation
Begin by mixing all the ingredients together carefully. Ensure there are no lumps. Then, preheat the oil in the deep fat fryer to the required temperature. Dry fish with the help of a paper towel and then dip it in the batter. Now, place each piece in the oil. Ensure the batter is set on both sides and cook till it turns a shade of golden brown. Place the fish on a paper towel to drain oil and serve hot.

I am a huge fan of Drake's Crispy Frymix for firm, white fish like cod. If you're going for that "Fish and Chips" sort of Long John's kind of texture - this is the stuff.

It wouldn't be good for a more delicate fish like sole; in that case you'd want just a light dredge of seasoned flour and pan fry in some butter.

Drake's is available in many grocery stores, but if you can't find it, you can make a fairly close approximation with flour, corn meal, dry milk, salt, baking soda, paprika and pepper.

Whisk together all-purpose flour, paprika and a good medium or light pale ale for the batter. Let sit for an hour to blend together.

Cut nice meaty boned and skinless fish (I use mahi-mahi but depends on what's available where you are) into good-sized chunks. Dredge in seasoned flour (flour with salt and pepper added, and a plastic storage bag works best so you can properly coat the pieces) then dip into batter. Drop a couple of pieces at a time into a deep fryer with 375 degree vegetable oil and cook until batter is crisp and golden. DO NOT OVERCOOK!

I was looking at some cajun recipes and ran across this:

Southern Fried*Catfish - Food Blog - The Chef From Hell

Looks good to me!

Catfish, brim, white perch, etc...

Clean, wash, sprinkle a little lemon juice over them. Liberally salt and pepper. Put in brown paper bag with corn meal mix. Shake. Deep fry.

After eating Applebee's Weight Watcher blackend fish I decided to try to make something similar. It may not taste exactly like Applebee's but it sure is delicious! And simple! I've used both tilapia and turbot, but I suppose you could use just about any fish...I'm going to try catfish next!

Spray the inside of a cast iron skillet with Pam cooking spray.

Spray both sides of fish with spray and then sprinkle both sides of fish with a Blackened Seasoning...I use Cajun's Choice Blackened Seasoning.

Put the skillet out on your BBQ grill and shut the lid...bake it for about 20 minutes or till done. You don't even have to turn it during cooking, and we've even used frozen tilapia because it's so thin. Your fish comes out moist and flakey...and your kitchen doesn't smell like fish!

Just be careful when you remove the skillet...my husband uses a couple of pot holders to take it off the grill and then puts the skillet on a wooded trivit to bring inside.
