Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm catfish fillets. Look for fillets that are opaque and have a slight sheen. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy smell.
  • Marinate the catfish fillets for at least 30 minutes. This will help to infuse them with flavor and make them more tender. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs.
  • Grill the catfish fillets over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the grill and will also ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Cook the catfish fillets until they are opaque and flake easily with a fork. Depending on the thickness of the fillets, this will take about 8-10 minutes per side.
  • Serve the catfish fillets with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or potatoes.
