These tacos bring together crispy catfish, a creamy pimento cheese crema, and a bright watermelon salsa, all tucked into corn tortillas. The catfish gets a quick buttermilk marinade before hitting a cornmeal dredge, ensuring a tender interior and a crisp exterior. The pimento cheese crema comes together quickly with cream cheese, mayonnaise, and a few other ingredients, while the watermelon salsa adds a fresh, fruity counterpoint.
