May I suggest whilst deep fat frying to simmer citrus peels with rosemary or other fragrant herb and just a drop of vanilla and water to neutralize the air in your kitchen/home. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, season with … I used a wok for deep frying rather than a shallow pan . Place the fish fillets on a baking sheet and warm in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or just until heated … Pasta with Tuna and Arugula Is the secret in the buttermilk? In a large, heavy skillet, heat ¼ inch peanut oil until ripples begin to appear.
The oven is the best way to reheat your fried catfish in order to keep that crispy exterior. I don't know. This afternoon is the second time that I have tried this and it is a hit with us.
Whether fried, pickled, or grilled, no other vegetable tastes quite like okra I liked the show.

This, to my mind, is a healthy debate.There’s something about a cornmeal crust that really sings with catfish. We also never fry the whole fillets, we always cut it into strips to get more flavor from the breading with each bite.I’ve used the same recipe for years.
You really went all out.
Serve them while they're hot.I'm Charlie: military veteran, now full time food blogger.
The oven is the best way to reheat your fried catfish in order to keep that crispy exterior. Also I let the dredged pieces sit for a while on a rack over a cookie sheet before frying. Members of our Food staff have a tough time arriving at a consensus when it comes to the Southern delicacy of fried catfish. Place catfish fillets in a single layer in a shallow dish; cover with milk. white vinegar and added whole milk to make 1 cup.
I substituted Grapeseed oil for Peanut oil and it turned out great! It’s good, but still seems to be missing something, just doesn’t seem to have the right consistency.D, do you mean crumbs from cornbread?

Transfer these fillets to a plate lined with a couple of paper towels. The half mustard/water mixture keeps the breading from getting too thick and having an overbearing mustard taste; mustard is good, just not too much! You want it around 350 degrees.
It works wonders.
I've told people if there was a taste test between fried catfish, redfish [red drum] and black drum-the black drum will win, redfish next then catfish.Also my wife and I loved to eat clams and fish at Woodman's of Essex (Woody's) between Gloucester and Ipswich, MA-asked them what they fried the seafood in and they said "we only use lard." But this is so crispy and flavorful, I ate every bite (also caught fish that morning tho). Carefully add catfish fillets to hot oil; fry until crisp and golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. The other catfish recipes that we have tried came out soggy and we were not looking forward to eating them, but this one we will make again and again. Soon, their ‘time’ would come – or dinner time would soon come upon us. Remove fish from skillet with a wide, slotted, curved spoon. In the absence of fine, white cornmeal, use the regular stuff with a little flour. I also place the breading ingredients in a zip lock bag and shake, works very well, and I’ve never had a problem with the breading not adhering.
Coat each piece thoroughly on all sides, tapping off any excess flour.
As the oil is heating up and the fish are soaking up the liquid, combine the flour, cornmeal, Old Bay seasoning and 2 Tablespoons of salt in a large bowl.
