OUTSTANDING!! I dearly love catfish and this recipe is just excellent. The marinade is quite zesty. I especially liked the white wine-lime juice flavor. The smell while grilling was pretty captivating. Thanks s'kat. My family and I are very happy for having tried this.

Well, I'm in a minority here. The marinade did not impart much flavor at all. It seemed promising and compared to the picture mine did not impart that dark charred red color. The flavor was, frankly, bland. I dont think I did anything wrong...
