Instructions

1. 1

   In a shallow bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, and Cajun seasoning until well combined.

   Fry the catfish strips in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, then drain on paper towels.

   In a small bowl, whisk the buffalo hot sauce and melted butter together, then gently toss the fried catfish in the sauce.

6. 6

   In another bowl, toss the shredded cabbage and celery with half of the blue cheese dressing to create the slaw.

7. 7

   Slice the French rolls lengthwise and toast them lightly if desired.

8. 8

   Assemble the sandwiches by layering the buffalo catfish on the rolls, topped with the celery slaw and an extra drizzle of blue cheese dressing.
