GRILLED CATFISH WITH LEMON JUICE

Steps:

• Place catfish on well-oiled grill or grilling basket over medium coals.
• Grill, basting frequently for about 20 minutes; turn and continue grilling for about 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

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.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium heat
• Wash your whole catfish or catfish fillet. The good thing about a fillet is that you don't have to worry about bones and internal organs. Plus, if you like a headless fish then the fillet is a good option for you.
• If you're not grilling a fillet then cut the belly of your catfish to remove its internal organs. Rinse thoroughly until it's neat.
• Pat it dry
• Now mix your black pepper with fresh pepper, your powder ginger and garlic, salt to taste and seasoning cubes
• Catfish is pretty fatty but if you don't mind, you can brush some oil on it
• Now, press your mixed ingredients on the catfish, making sure it spreads evenly
• Leave it to marinate for 5 minutes
• Place it on the grill and let it cook on each side for 5 minutes if it's fillet. If it's a whole catfish, let it grill on each side for 10 minutes. But before putting off the grill, make sure the fish flakes easily with a fork.
