Sesame Crusted Catfish

Recipe courtesy of chef Robert Stehling, Hominy Grill

Ingredients

- Plenty of catfish filets

- 1 cup cornmeal

- 1 cup whole sesame seeds

- ½ cup ground sesame seeds

Directions

1) Combine cornmeal, whole & ground sesame seeds, salt & black pepper. Remember, you are using it to season the catfish, so make it a little salty.

2) Place dredge on a large flat plate and press catfish filet into it. Make it stick well.

3) Shake off loose dredge and place round side down into a skillet of hot peanut oil at about an 1/8 inch deep.

4) Fry until golden brown and flip once (over-handling will loosen the crust).

5) Drain on paper towels
