Southern Fried Catfish

Fried catfish has deep roots in Southern and African American culinary tradition, tied closely to fish fries held along rivers and lakes throughout the Mississippi Delta region. Cornmeal-crusted catfish became a beloved Southern staple by the 19th and 20th centuries, often served with hush puppies and coleslaw at community gatherings.
