Catfish

I got my first channel catfish yesterday, it was 26 inches, and was wondering how to clean it and some recipies? can you grill it the same as trout? I usually gut the trout leave the scales on cover in spices and butter inside and out wrap them in aluminum foil and through them on the grill.

[cool][#0000ff]You should fillet and skin your catfish...especially if it is a larger fish from Utah lake. That will help remove some of the oils and make for a better tasting and healthier meal.[/#0000ff]

Make sure to get some Weber cajun seasoning too. Smiths has it. A must have on catfish.

dredge em in cornmeal, cornflour and flour, soak em in buttermilk for awhile to get rid of the gaminess - fry it and dip in some remoulade with some hush puppies or some shore lunch style potatoes, I have never seen anyone grill catfish (I am a texas transplant-now a native I guess), that is what salmon and trout are for.

I find the best way to clean them is to go down to the store and buy some, the farm raised stuff tastes better and skinning those things sucks.
