Oven Fried Catfish

August 13, 2019

Crispy oven fried catfish is a great alternative to frying without the mess and fattiness of the oil.

Fried catfish seems to be on every restaurant menu in the South. That’s because catfish can be easily obtained at a reasonable price since it is farm raised in Louisiana and the surrounding area. Catfish can be prepared a number of different ways but fried is personally my favorite. That was until I realized I could have the same crispy breading without the mess of frying it and instead baking it in the oven.

    Thank you! Love this, it worked better for me on a cookie sheet. The glass dish had my batter coming off when I would try to flip.
