Ingredients

Servings:6
  • 1 1/2 pounds Catfish fillets, cut into strips
  • 1 cup Hickory BBQ sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups Yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • 2 cups Shredded cabbage slaw mix
  • 1/2 cups Mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
  • 2 large loaves French bread baguettes
  • 1 quart Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup Sliced pickles(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of Cajun seasoning, then toss with the shredded cabbage to create the coleslaw.

  2. 2

    Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  3. 3

    In a shallow dish, combine the cornmeal, flour, and the remaining Cajun seasoning; place the buttermilk in a separate bowl.

  4. 4

    Dip each catfish strip into the buttermilk, then dredge thoroughly in the cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

  5. 5

    Fry the catfish in batches for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy, then drain on a wire rack.

  6. 6

    In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the hot fried catfish strips with the hickory BBQ sauce until evenly glazed.

  7. 7

    Slice the French bread into sandwich lengths and lightly toast the insides under a broiler.

  8. 8

    Assemble the Po' Boys by layering the BBQ catfish on the bread, topping generously with the creamy coleslaw and optional pickles.
