For extra crispy tomatoes, double-dredge them in the cornmeal mixture. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the tomatoes; otherwise, they may become soggy. Adjust the amount of hot sauce in the remoulade to your preference. A dash of smoked paprika can also add a delightful smoky flavor to the remoulade. If you don't have bread crumbs, you can use crushed crackers or even panko breadcrumbs for a different texture.
