SIMPLE GRILLED CATFISH

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Preheat the grill to medium heat. Brush and oil the grates so that you have a clean grilling surface for the fish.
• Brush the catfish fillets with the Worcestershire sauce and sprinkle with the ground pepper.
• Place the fish on the preheated grill. If using a charcoal grill, place the fillets about 4 to 6 inches from the heat. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes.
• Brush again and turn. Grill about 5 minutes longer, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Sprinkle with salt, if desired.

GRILLED WHOLE FISH

Steps:

• Preheat grill for direct-heat grilling over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, drizzle cavity of each fish with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then season generously with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Aromatics help keep whole fish moist while grilling. Stuff 1 fish cavity with lemon slices and dill and the other with lime slices, basil, and Thai chiles. If using just 1 filling, double amounts called for.
• Fasten each opening with a wooden skewer or toothpicks that have been soaked in water so they don't burn. This keeps the aromatics inside and also makes fish easier to handle on the grill.
• Using a paring knife, make long, 1/4-inch-deep diagonal slashes at 2-inch intervals on both sides of fish so they cook evenly throughout. This also allows any seasonings on skin (see step 5) to penetrate.
• Rub both sides of each fish with remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper, working all into slashes as well as heads and tails -- both are edible, and the tail becomes delightfully crisp when grilled.
• Brush hot grill with vegetable oil; immediately place fish on grill. Cook, undisturbed and uncovered, until undersides are charred and flesh along gills on undersides turns opaque, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Turn fish with 2 large spatulas. If they stick, wait a few seconds until skin sears enough to release cleanly. Grill on other side until charred and fish are just cooked through and opaque, 5 to 7 minutes more.
• Serve fish with lemon and lime wedges and more herbs. To serve, cut fillet free from top side of fish and remove with a spatula. Remove bones to free other fillet.

GRILLED SEASONED CATFISH FILETS

Steps:

• 1. Wash and dry catfish filets. Salt and pepper. Sprinkle your choice of seasonings on both sides of fish. Let stand for a few minutes. We use a cajun, no salt mixture of seasonings. This is made up of curry powder, onion powder,garlic powder, and other ingredients on the label. Actually, we do not put a lot of salt on the fish when we are seasoning it.
• 2. After the fish is seasoned, place it on the grill. Keep turning it until there are no more juices running from it. When using the George Forman grill we just follow the directions of usage for the grill. This is also good on the regular grill!
