Do you love big bluegill?

Blackened Catfish

This is a tasty recipe but remember it generates alot of smoke so I prefer to throw my cast iron skillet on my grill........The filets are fork tender and mouth watering.......

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on September 24, 2013 at 5:57am: I like the larger catfish fillets like this Allen.......high heat, butter and cajun seasonings....creates a world of smoke so I like to do it outside on a hot fire....

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on January 30, 2013 at 6:01pm: In my Boy Scout youth....we always served Bluegill for breakfast and I cleaned hundreds, but taught dozens of my brothers how to filet a fish.........That's one of the downfalls of an Uncle as a scout leader....he knew what skills I had at a very young age.....But fried fish was a favorite back then and I still look forward to every fish fry we host!

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on January 30, 2013 at 5:56pm: Yes Carl.....This recipe is with Channel Catfish but I do the same with Bluegill and creole butter......melts in your mouth my friend!

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on August 16, 2012 at 4:35pm: I also use the same recipe on bigger Largemouth and Striped Bass as well Jim....very tasty as well!

Comment by jim cosgrove on August 16, 2012 at 4:06pm: i think i am going for cats tomorrow after that pic jeffrey.my son turned me on to a new northern twist to this jeffrey-blackened steelhead.and yeah i tried doing it inside as the steelhead run in the winter,my wife almost killed me

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on August 16, 2012 at 2:54pm: I usually prepare some new potatoes or a bed of rice pilaf to land the blackened filets on and there's not a trace when I'm done.......It's popular with family guests in my house...I get a lot of requests.....It usually starts like this...." Any catfish lately Jeff?....How about some of that cajun catfish.....that sounds good!"

Comment by Vince Fusco on August 15, 2012 at 6:41pm: Sounds delicious !

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on August 15, 2012 at 5:00pm: Thanks Lee....one of my favorites.....I see this image in my mind every time I land a nice Channel Cat.....I like to fry the smaller fish and blacken the 3 to 8 pound range.....
