Fried-Catfish Sandwiches with Spicy Mayonnaise
Moist, juicy catfish, coated with cornmeal and fried crisp, makes a delicious sandwich on a crusty roll with peppery mayonnaise. If you're not in a sandwich mood, skip the roll, but don't hold the mayo: It makes a fine dipping sauce for the fish. Slideshow: Tasty Sandwiches

Recipe Summary
Ingredients
Directions
Notes
Fish Alternatives Substitute moderately firm, lean fillets for the catfish. Scrod, rockfish, ocean perch, haddock, or tilefish are good options.
Suggested Pairing
These laid-back catfish sandwiches will be great with beer or with a straightforward, gulpable red wine. Choose a Gamay from California or a Beaujolais from France, which is also made from the Gamay grape. Chill the wine slightly for maximum enjoyment.
