Frozen Catfish Fillets

Our frozen catfish fillets are one of our best sellers among frozen items. They come two fillets per pack for $12.00. Catfish has a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a firm, moist texture that is perfect for frying.

How to Make Fried Catfish

• Thaw the fillets overnight in the refrigerator and pat dry.
• Soak in buttermilk or season with hot sauce and salt.
• Dredge in seasoned cornmeal.
• Fry at 350°F for 4 to 6 minutes until golden and the fish flakes easily.

Other Ways to Cook Catfish

Blacken catfish in a hot cast-iron pan with Cajun spices, bake it with a cornmeal crust, or grill it on foil with lemon and butter. Cook until opaque and flaky (145°F).

Storage

Keep frozen until ready to use. Once thawed, cook within one to two days.
