Easy Coastal Breeze Catfish Recipe: Pan-Fried Perfection
Coastal Breeze Pan Fried Catfish with Wurzpott Seasoning
If you’re craving a light, flavorful seafood dish that brings a touch of the coast to your kitchen, this Coastal Breeze Pan Fried Catfish recipe is exactly what you need. Perfect for weeknight dinners or casual entertaining, this dish delivers a golden crust, tender flaky fish, and a zesty citrus finish that brightens every bite.
The star of this recipe is Wurzpott Coastal Breeze Seasoning, a gourmet spice blend crafted with sea salt, herbs, and natural lemon notes for a truly fresh coastal taste. It’s an effortless way to make home cooked seafood feel restaurant worthy.
To start, you’ll need two catfish fillets, ½ cup of vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons of cornmeal, and 1 tablespoon of Wurzpott Coastal Breeze Seasoning. Simply dredge the fillets in a light coating of cornmeal mixed with the seasoning blend. The cornmeal creates a crisp exterior, while the Wurzpott blend infuses the fish with bright, savory notes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and pan fry each fillet for about three to four minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. The result is beautifully browned catfish that’s crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. Serve warm with fresh lemon wedges for a burst of citrus to complement the seasoning’s zesty character.

Pat catfish fillets dry thoroughly with paper towels.
In a shallow bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, and Coastal Breeze seasoning.
