  CAJUN FRIED CATFISH An old-fashioned favorite in the Deep South, Cajun Fried Catfish is breaded in spicy cornmeal and soaked in buttermilk. Cajun Fried Catfish is really the same as Southern Fried Catfish, just kicked up with some good ol Cajun spices for added flavor and heat.  I grew up eating a lot of fried catfish.  Before frying, the fish should be soaked in buttermilk for 30 minutes to an hour.    In some old recipes, plain milk is called for, but buttermilk's acid does the trick rather than plain milk. Ingredients 6   pounds   catfish fillets 1   cup   buttermilk 4   cups   vegetable oil or lard for frying Cornmeal Mix: 1   cup   all-purpose flour 2 1/2   cups   yellow cornmeal 2   tablespoons   Cajun Seasoning   used: Tony Chacheries Seasoning 1   teaspoon   garlic powder or granulated garlic 2   teaspoons   ground black pepper Instructions Place fish fillet strips in ...
