Preparation
Step 1
Instructions
Before you start...make the Kicken Remoulade Sauce! Whisk together all the ingredients.
Cover and chill for at least 1 hour.
MAKE THE COLESLAW :...or, make from scratch
Combine the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and celery see in a medium bowl. Set aside.
PREPARE THE CATFISH:
Heat the oil in a large sturdy skillet over medium-high heat, until reaches 350 F, or when a small piece of bread sizzles and browns in about 30 seconds when tossed in the oil.
Place the milk and eggs together in a medium bowl, and gently mix.
In a separate medium bowl, mix together the corn meal, flour, ½ teaspoon salt,1/4 teaspoon pepper, cayenne.
One at a time, dip the catfish fillets into the wet mixture, then dredge in the corn meal/flour mixture, completely covering the fillets.
In batches, fry the fillets until golden brown, about 3 - 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
FINISH OFF THE PO-BOYS:
Position a rack 6 inches from the broiler and heat on high.
Arrange the rolls cut sides up on a baking sheet and toast until golden brown, about 30 seconds (keep an eye on them!).
To assemble: smear a good helping (about 2 tablespoons) of the remoulade on the bottom roll. Then add a layer of the pickles, then tomato slices, then the catfish fillets, and top with coleslaw.
Add a good few squeezes of fresh lemon and several dashes of hot sauce. Top with bun.
Enjoy!!
