Texas Roadhouse Fried Catfish

Texas Roadhouse Fried Catfish





8 catfish filet shanks

2 cups buttermilk

5 1/2 cups cornmeal

2 tbsp black pepper

2 tbsp salt

Soybean or peanut oil for frying







Thaw catfish fillets in the refrigerator. Skip this step if the catfish is fresh.

Pour oil into a dutch oven or fryer. The oil should be two inches deep. Bring to a boil. It should be approximately 325 degrees.

Combine pepper, salt and cornmeal in a bowl large enough for dredging catfish fillets.

Pour buttermilk in a separate bowl.

Dip catfish into buttermilk, making certain each side is covered.

Press catfish into seasoned cornmeal mixture, then flip and coat the second side.

Place catfish on a plate.

Repeat dredging process with the remaining catfish fillets.

Lower a breaded catfish fillet into hot oil with tongs.

Cook each fillet for about 8 minutes, or until the catfish floats to the top and features a golden hue.

Serve immediately.
