TODD RICHARDS'S FRIED CATFISH WITH HOT SAUCE
The Atlanta chef Todd Richards says his mother made catfish on Fridays as part of her weekly rotation of dishes. She let the fish sit in cornmeal for about five minutes before frying, a technique that he said resulted in very crispy fish. He uses the same method in this recipe, adapted from his cookbook, "Soul: A Chef's Culinary Evolution in 150 Recipes" (Oxmoor House, 2018). If you're using boneless catfish, this dish can be served as a sandwich.
