LEMON GRILLED CATFISH

Ingredients

1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
2 to 4 drops Tabasco
1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish fillets, whole or cut into strips

Preparation

Mix all seasoning ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid; shake well to mix thoroughly. The marinade will keep in the refrigerator for several weeks. Wash catfish fillets and pat dry. Cover fillets with marinade and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours. Grill over a medium-hot fire, basting with marinade. To cook inside, melt a tablespoon of butter in a heavy skillet on high heat. Place the catfish in hot skillet, shaking it to prevent sticking. Cook, turning and shaking the pan for 3 to 4 minutes until done.
