Catfish poboys with Pickle Remoulade

Well, as I don't care for catfish, I used talapia.  These were pretty good.  I happen to prefer my husband's fried  fish recipe.  The cornmeal made it too coarse for my liking.  The remoulade was tasty, but I think I would have liked some heat.  Despite all that, we enjoyed it quite a bit.

1. MAKE THE PICKLE REMOULADE In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients.
2. MAKE THE PO'BOYS In a pie plate, whisk the cornmeal, panko, 1/2 cup
of flour, the salt, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, sage,
ginger and cumin. In another pie plate, beat the eggs. Dust the catfish
with flour, then dip in the beaten egg; coat in the panko mixture,
pressing the crumbs to help them adhere. Transfer the fish to a baking
sheet.
3. In a skillet, heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil. Fry the catfish in 2
batches over moderately high heat, turning once, until the crust is
golden and crisp and the fish is cooked through, 4 minutes. Drain the
fish on paper towels.
4. Spread the rolls with the remoulade. Top with the fried fish and
romaine and serve.
