Crispy Fried Catfish Delight with Golden French Fries

Crispy Fried Catfish Delight with Golden French Fries

Ingredients:

  • 4 catfish fillets
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
  • Salt for seasoning

Instructions:

  1. Begin by preparing the french fries. Rinse the cut potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Carefully add the potato fries to the hot oil in batches, frying until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Season with salt while they are still hot.
  4. In a shallow dish, combine the cornmeal, flour, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper.
  5. Dredge each catfish fillet in the cornmeal mixture, coating it evenly on all sides.
  6. Shake off any excess coating and carefully place the coated catfish fillets into the hot oil.
  7. Fry the catfish fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Once cooked, remove the catfish from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  9. Serve the crispy fried catfish hot alongside the golden french fries.
