Fried catfish is absolutely succulent and flavorful! That’s because catfish is such a lovely dish. Catfish include a variety of ray finned fish with prominent barrels that resemble whiskers. These fish are commercially important with the other ones being farmed as a commodity.

Farmed catfish are the best for breaded catfish recipes because they have a unique flavor. They are sweet, mild, and moist with firm flesh that is less flakey than other whitefish. All you need to make fried catfish is 4 (6 oz) catfish fillets, 2 tbsp vegetable oil, and 3 large eggs

Also 1 cup bread crumbs, 1 cup all purpose flour, 1 tbsp salt, 1/2 tbsp pepper, and 1/2 tbsp crushed black peppercorn. Ingredients for the caribbean jerk sauce recipe include 1.5s cup chicken broth, 2 tbsp butter, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tbsp lime juice.

This Jamaican style dish is full of flavors!

Seasonings for the sauce include 3/4 tbsp dried thyme leaves, 1/2 tbsp dried coriander spice, 1/2 tbsp allspice, and 1/2 tbsp salt. You also want to add 1 tbsp cornstarch, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp liquid smoke, and 1/2 tbsp paprika!

Caribbean jerk sauce recipe is so spicy and full of wonderful flavors. Jerk seasoning and sauces originated in Jamaica it has a spicy smokey flavor. It’s absolutely delicious with fried catfish. I adore the allspice seasoning.

Allspice is perfect for breaded catfish recipes because it’s unique and zesty. This seasoning is also native to Jamaica, it’s even referred to as Jamaican pepper! It’s made from the ground up dried unripe berry of Pimenta dioica. Check out the entire recipe with detailed instructions below to make this mouthwatering dish!
