How do you make fried catfish without the gritty cornmeal texture?

First off, I don't know anything about cooking. When I get fried catfish from various places, it seems there are two types of crust depending on where you go. Some places have the gritty cornmeal crust, and other places have a more smooth fried crust.
What do they do to get that non-gritty crust?
Here is a picture that seems to show what I'm talking about:
As opposed to the typical gritty crusted catfish like this:

Use corn flour instead of corn meal.

To say the same thing as everyone else, but in "layman's terms" since you said yourself that you "don't know anything about cooking" ... you want to look for "New Orleans Style" fish fry ... it's made with the aforementioned corn FLOUR as opposed to corn MEAL.
If using Louisiana Fish Fry Brand, it's in a yellow bag, and actually labeled "New Orleans Style with Lemon" ... if using Zatarains' it's the same thing ... corn flour.

first post is right.
People usually use Corn meal or corn flour to fry fish.
Corn flour is finer corn meal.

There's also a product called cream meal that is a very fine ground meal. It is excellent on fish!
