Crispy Buffalo Style Catfish
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 teaspoon ground chili powder
- cayenne, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 catfish fillets
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 5 tablespoons hot pepper sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon minced onion
- celery rib
- good blue cheese dressing
- Combine cornmeal, flour, ground chili powder, cayenne to taste, garlic powder, salt, and pepper on a shallow dish.
- Coat each fillet in the beaten egg, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture.
- Place breaded fillets in a single layer on a plate, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set breading.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 Tbsp of the butter together with the oil.
- Take chilled fillets from refrigerator and brown them until golden brown on each side and cooked through, about 4 to 6 minutes per side.
- Transfer cooked fish to serving plates.
- Over low heat, heat remaining butter in the same pan you cooked the fish in; saute the minced onion and minced garlic clove for 3 minutes, then stir in the hot pepper sauce, making sure to scrape the bottom of the pan with a spatula to get up the cooked bits.
- Divide the sauce between the 4 servings and drizzle over the fillets.
- Serve fillets immediately with good blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.
