50 States, 50 Sizzling Dishes: The Ultimate Foodie Road Trip Through The USA
Fried Catfish from Iowa
Iowa’s got more to its plate than just pork chops and cob on the cob. In the Mississippi River valleys, where the water runs slow, and the sun hangs low, reigns a king of the culinary scene: Fried Catfish.
Southern settlers brought this dish north in the Pioneer days, and Iowa’s fertile fields embraced them like long-lost kin. Here, catfish get the royal treatment. They’re dipped in a cornmeal bath, crispy and golden, while their insides stay moist and flaky. Every bite is a celebration of the local harvest. No wonder this dish is a cornerstone of Iowa’s soul food.
