Ingredients:

Catfish Sandwich:

• 1.25 – 1.5 lbs catfish (4 fillets)
• 1 large egg
• ½ cup milk
• 1 cup Tony Chachere’s Seasoned Fish Fry Mix
• 2-3 tbsp vegetable oil (add more if needed)
• 4 French baguettes/breads (~6 inches each)
• 2 cups lettuce, shredded
• 1-2 tomatoes, sliced

Remoulade:

• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tsp sweet pickled relish
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• ½ tsp Tony Chachere’s Original Creole Seasoning (adjust for spicier flavor)

Directions:

1. Prepare the Fish:

• Breading: In a bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Spread Tony Chachere’s Seasoned Fish Fry Mix onto a plate.
• Coating: Pat the catfish fillets dry. Dip each fillet into the egg and milk mixture, coating both sides. Then dredge them in the Fish Fry Mix, ensuring each side is well-coated. Repeat two to three times for extra crispiness.

2. Fry the Fish:

• Heat the Skillet: Heat a skillet on medium-high heat with vegetable oil (Note 1).
• Sear the Fillets: Once the oil is hot, add the breaded catfish, leaving space between each fillet. If necessary, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry the catfish until it reaches 145°F, flipping once. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. Make the Remoulade:

• In a small bowl, combine all the remoulade ingredients. Mix thoroughly and adjust the seasoning to your desired level of spiciness (Note 2).

4. Assemble the Po’ Boy:

• Split the Baguettes: Slice the baguettes lengthwise.
• Build the Sandwich: Add a layer of breaded catfish, followed by tomato slices, lettuce, and remoulade sauce.

Serve & Enjoy:

• Your Fish Po’ Boy is ready! The combination of the crunchy catfish, fresh vegetables, and tangy remoulade is simply divine. Serve immediately and savor a sandwich that’s truly Louisiana-inspired.

Notes:

1. The amount of oil needed may vary based on the size of your skillet.
2. Adjust the amount of Creole seasoning in the remoulade according to your taste preference.
