Ingredients

4-6 Fresh catfish fillets (2-3 lbs total)

1 cup white wine

½ cup chopped fresh sweet basil

Juice of 1 large lime

3 T. olive oil

1 T. hot and sweet prepared mustard

2 T. chili powder

1 t. ground black pepper

2 t. Creole seasoning

1 t. salt

Canola oil

2 handfuls hickory chips

Directions

1) Combine all ingredients except catfish in a large bowl.

2) Soak 2 handfuls hickory chips in water

3) Rinse the catfish fillets and drain. Place in a sealable plastic bag.

4) Add marinade and seal tightly, removing ass much air as possible. Place the bag in a large bowl (to protect against leaks) and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

5) After marinating, drain the marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil for 5 minutes.

6) Add woodchips to medium coals. Wait until they begin to produce smoke.

7) Grill the catfish fillets over direct heat in a fish grill well that allows you to turn them. Make sure fish grill is well oiled with canola oil. Cook them about 3 minutes per side, turn and baste with the boiled marinade. I turn them twice, so about 6 minutes total per side.

8) Serve fish with dipping sauce with rice on the side.

~Nothing Fishy here~

Perfect accouterment to a lazy Sunday afternoon,nonchalantly mosey up to the table and help one's self to this spectactular spiced,grilled Cat.This would instill a good flavor to an otherwise strong tasting aquarian creature.

Kind Regards
