CATFISH:

Recipe of the Week:
Barbequed Catfish

Ingredients • 4 (7-ounce) catfish fillets, skinned, de-boned
• 4 tablespoons dry rub
• 6 tablespoons cooking oil
• 1/2 cup hickory chips
• 1/2 cup water

Directions
Preheat the grill.
Coat each catfish fillet with the dry rub. Dip the fish into the oil and place the fillets on a hot grill to establish grill marks. After establishing grill marks and the fillets release from the grill, place the catfish into a smoker. Smoke for 2 minutes using the hickory wood chips. Add water to the chips and steam the fish for another 2 minutes. Remove the catfish from the smoker and serve immediately with tartar sauce.
