To lighten this recipe, remove ALL butter. Sprinkle herbs straight onto fish & heat a few tsp of olive oil in a cast iron skillet. I've found that farm-raised catfish filets are fairly thick, so I cut them in half and cook about 5 min per side. After heating the oil on high & adding the fish, I turn my burner down to med to finish cooking. They still are blackened enough for me, and this helps cut down on the amount of smoke produced.

This was great. I do not like fish but my husband and I went on a fishing trip and had to cook our trout. I combined this recipe with another and grilled it in an aluminum foil pack with slices of poblano peppers, butter, and lemon juice. It was really excellent!

Very easy to prepare. I didn't experience smoke problems at all. Excellent flavor and texture. The seasoning made the "fishiness" go away. (Used fresh trout...YUM!!)

WOO-HOOOO this has a great kick! I dipped the fish in the butter & then rolled it into the spice mixture, which depending on your "buds" I may or maynot recommend. I loved it, it was nice & spicy. Thanks Susan, I now have a great recipe to use up my Dads fresh catch with!

I altered the recipe quite a bit spice wise as it is really too much for children. I also used the grill outside to heat the cast iron skillet and cooked the fish there as well. Just sit the skillet directly on the grill on high heat. No problem with smoke in the house and it works beautifully.

This was a great meal! I would not make this fish in the kitchen, but use an outside burner on the grill. It filled our house with smoke! She warns a well ventilated area to cook in, and you'd better belive it! It was very tasty though, and we will make it again. A bit too spicy for little ones.
