How to Prepare and Fry Sun-Dried Catfish
For home preparation, sun-dried catfish is incredibly straightforward to cook. The fish is already partially dehydrated and lightly seasoned, meaning it cooks quickly and develops a rich flavor.
Rehydrate (Optional): If the fish is very heavily salted or bone-dry, soak it in fresh water for 10–15 minutes to reduce the sodium content and soften it slightly. Pat it completely dry with a paper towel.
Deep Fry: Heat a generous amount of vegetable or peanut oil in a wok or deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
Cook: Carefully place the catfish in the hot oil. Fry undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes until the underside is crispy, then flip and fry the other side until golden brown.
Serve: Remove from the pan, let it drain on a wire rack or paper towels, and serve with steamed jasmine rice or traditional sticky rice
