Step 1: Soaking the catfish in buttermilk helps to tenderize the fish and reduce any fishy odor.

Step 2: This mixture will create a crispy coating for the catfish.

Step 3: Ensure each fillet is evenly coated for a consistent fry.

Step 4: Maintaining the correct oil temperature is crucial for a crispy exterior.

Step 5: Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.

Step 6: Do not overmix the batter to keep the hushpuppies light and fluffy.

Step 7: Test one hushpuppy first to ensure the oil is at the right temperature.
