Instructions:

Step 1

Pat the catfish fillets dry with a paper towel and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and soak in buttermilk for about 10 minutes.

Step 3

In a separate shallow bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and a bit of salt.
