- 1/2 cup Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (recommended: Old Bay)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon hot curry powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon toasted fennel seeds
- 1 whole catfish (1 to 2 pounds) or 4 catfish steaks (about 1 1/2-inches thick)
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
For the seafood rub:
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
Directions
Clean the fish, leaving bone in. Drizzle the fish with lemon juice and olive oil. Scatter the rub over the fish and sprinkle with soy sauce. Let marinate, covered, overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat the grill to medium.
Arrange the fish on the grill and cover with foil. Grill for 15 minutes. Using a broad spatula, carefully turn the fish over and continue to grill, covered, for 20 to 30 minutes.
Transfer the fish to a serving platter and serve.

Paula, I still want to be your son! Your guest, Captain Kofi, sure knows his catfish. I think the key here is to let it marinate overnight to soak up all those wonderful spices. I didn't cook it as long as he said in the recipe and it was tender, moist, and oh so favorful. Paula, are you sure I can't be your son?
