Fried catfish is a Southern staple that can be enjoyed anywhere. The golden-brown, cornmeal-crusted fish is easy to make and pairs perfectly with our Cajun-spiced aioli and your favorite sides.

Prep the Fish: Remove the catfish from the packaging, clean it if needed, and pat it dry with paper towels. Cut the catfish into 1 inch pieces. Try to create equal size pieces for even cooking.

Catfish is popular in many countries, but particularly in the Southern USA, where it is coated in cornmeal, pan-fried and served with cornmeal fritters in an iconic dish called Hush Puppies.
