Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 10 mins

1. In a mixing bowl, stir together the buttermilk and hot pepper sauce. Place catfish in the bowl and let sit for 10 minutes to marinate. Meanwhile, toss lettuce with tartar sauce in a second bowl.
2. Pour oil into a skillet and place over medium-high heat.
3. In a shallow dish, sift together the flour and seafood seasoning. Lift a catfish fillet out of the buttermilk and dredge it in the dry seasoning. Repeat with remaining fillets, placing each in the hot oil after dredging.
4. Fry the catfish for about 3 minutes, then flip and continue to fry for 4 more minutes, until golden brown. Drain.
5. In each sandwich bun, place a portion of the lettuce tartar sauce mixture, some of the tomato slices, and a fried catfish fillet. Serve.
