Dust em with Paul P's blackend seafood magic, heat some butter over medium heat and blackened. Squirt with some lemon at the end.

Catfish makes a good courtboullion or bouilliabaisse

Get a cast iron skillet hot and season fish with whatever seasoning you prefer. Cook 3-4 mins per side and put on a plate to rest.

In same pan, add a chunk of butter and cook garlic and shallots. Add some lemon juice and serve over fish.

This really takes away from what catfish' strong point is. It is one of the better freshwater fish to fry. If it's not a saltwater fish, it most likely wont be that appealing if it isnt fried. That goes for bass, bream, sac-a-lait, gar, and cats. Grilling is for specks, reds, mahi, tuna, salmon, and flounder (and many others).

Crush 1/2 pound of pecans in 1/2 cup Steens. Add 2 table spoons of minced garlis, 1/2 a finely chopped Spanish onion, some cayenne and salt. Mix all well. Smear each filet with the sauce bake at 375 for 5 minutes then drop down to your middle rack and broil for another 10 minutes.

Courtbullion... The wife finished off my last batch last week and demanded another. It's gone.

Can't say that I agree with this. Though I prefer blackened, grilled catfish kicks arse.

Nonsense to the idea that catfish is only good if fried. (For the record, wild caught is so much better than pond raised.). Anyway, catfish sauce piquante is delicious, as is catfish courtbouillion (though you need to be careful not to overlook the fish or it will break up in a liquidy courtbouillion).

Blacken and make fish tacos with sour cream, shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes.

Never heard of this? Guess you could do the same with redfish or speckled trout filets? Sounds good on paper anyway.
