A lot of people here in the south love fried Catfish.
Ever had a fried catfish sandwich?
With mustard, sliced onion, and hot sauce on white bread?
Awesome...
This recipe adds a new twist to that phrase Skillet fried...on the grill.
You can use any thick fish fillet, but it is suggested to use catfish or haddock.
And you have to have a large seasoned cast-iron skillet. ( or 2 med. size )
What southerner doesn't ?
I have one for cornbread and one for fried chicken.
I'll have to get one for this recipe to be sure.
Enjoy!!!

Melt butter in skillet and add fish.
Grill covered for 6 to 8 mins. on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

(Just a thought that crossed my mind after I posted this recipe)
