Ingredients

Servings:6
  • 1 pound Catfish fillets, sliced into strips
  • 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon pepper seasoning
  • 1/2 cup Buttermilk
  • 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
  • 2 large French bread rolls or hoagie buns
  • 1 cup Shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 1 large Sliced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Hot sauce(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the catfish strips dry with paper towels and place them in a shallow bowl with the buttermilk.

  2. 2

    In a separate shallow dish, whisk together the cornmeal and lemon pepper seasoning until well combined.

  3. 3

    Remove each catfish strip from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off, then dredge thoroughly in the cornmeal mixture.

  4. 4

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  5. 5

    Pan-fry the catfish strips for 3-4 minutes per side until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  6. 6

    While the fish cooks, lightly toast the split French rolls in the oven or a toaster.

  7. 7

    Spread a generous layer of mayonnaise on the toasted rolls and add a dash of hot sauce if desired.

  8. 8

    Assemble the Po' Boys by layering the crispy catfish, shredded lettuce, and tomato slices inside the rolls.
