| PAPAS FRIED CATFISH Ingredients 3 pounds catfish fillets Salt and cayenne to taste 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal 1/2 cup flour 1 cup milk 1-1/2 cups vegetable oil 1 medium-size yellow onion, peeled and thinly sliced (separate into rings) Lemon wedges Tartar Sauce Steps Rinse the catfish in cool water and pat dry. Season the fish generously with salt and cayenne. Combine the flour and cornmeal in a shallow bowl and season with salt and cayenne. Pour the milk into another shallow dish. Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet to about 360º F. Dip the catfish, two to three at a time, in the milk, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture, tapping off any excess. Let sit for about one minute, then fry (two to three pieces at a time) in the hot oil. Cook for about three minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Scatter several onion rings over the fish as they cook and squeeze lemon juice over them. Repeat the process until all the fish is cooked. Serve warm with the tartar sauce. Makes 6 to 8 servings. |
