You’ll want a thin, flexible spatula to make the job easier. Our last big tip is in flipping the fish. My personal favorite is to take a 1/2 cup each of Andy’s Red Seasoning and Andy’s Golden Seasoning and mix them together. In a hurry? We also like Louisiana or Andy’s fish breading in place of our breading recipe. Soaking farmed catfish in buttermilk may not be necessary, but it also won’t hurt anything. Wild catfish feed off the bottom of lakes and ponds, which is where that ‘muddy’ flavor comes from. Store-bought catfish fillets are less likely to have that muddy taste of fresh caught catfish, because it’s been farmed and likely fed a special diet. These catfish fillets go nicely with our air fryer vegetables and air fryer waffle fries. We like to serve our air fryer catfish with lemon wedges and this homemade tartar sauce. These tricks should make for a nice, crispy bready. Leave space between each fillet for air to flow. How do I keep the catfish crispy in the air fryer?īe sure to bread the catfish fillets fully and spritz them liberally with oil spray. Then remove fish from the buttermilk and lightly pat dry. If you get lazy and can’t be bothered for the second round of frying, they are still really good simply breaded and fried. Soak the fillets- Whisk together the buttermilk and hot sauce in a bowl and add the catfish filets. The key is, you want to bread the okra, air fry, then toss in just a tiny bit of oil, then air fry for a few more minutes. If you don’t want to make your own breading, see our tips and substitutions section below. Mix together the batter and taste it for seasoning before breading the fish.īreading – Breadcrumbs, cornmeal, flour, and garlic powder make up our breading. If you’re using another blend of Cajun seasoning, you may need to add salt. It’s quite salty, so we don’t add additional salt. This is a must.Ĭajun Seasoning- We use Tony Chachere’s seasoning blend. If you buy frozen, just be sure to thaw them first.īuttermilk- Buttermilk helps ‘wash away’ the muddy flavor of the catfish and makes for a sweeter, more mild flavored fish. Depending on the size of your air frier you will likely need to do this in two batches. Then dip each piece in the egg mixture, then in the bread crumbs. Ideally, your one pound of fillets will be two to four separate fillets. Rinse the okra and cut off the tops and bottoms. This air fryer salmon will also become a favorite! Ingredient Notes:Ĭatfish Fillets- Fresh fillets are the way to go. If you love fish, but are more likely to buy it from the local grocery store, check out our air fryer cod and air fryer tilapia! Just soak your catfish in buttermilk and it’ll sweeten up the fish and make it a lot more mild and just plain better tasting than catfish that hasn’t been soaked in buttermilk.

It can be a bit muddy tasting if you don’t cook it right, but we’ve cracked the code here. Catfish is one of those fish that people either love or hate.
