Smoked catfish recipes

[SkunkedAgain]

John, you did make the right request, Pat's smoked kitty is very, very good... He will share all the details with you I'm sure, so I won't attempt to plagiarize his recipe, but be careful trying it because you may get hooked and you'll start eating all those monsters you catch... It is so easy to do that I find I smoke more fish now than before... Make sure you use his spice mix, it really makes a tasty treat... If there's anything you don't understand after you read his write up let me know and I'd be glad to try and clear up those questions... One key is don't over cook it... Leave it still soft and it's way better... Will probably take you a batch or two to figure out how your smoker works, and outside weather conditions can effect things, so it takes a little playing with it, but when you get it down, you will totally love catfish, which was amazing to me, I didn't dig it too much before... One other thing that Pat probably mentions, but I'll foot stamp it too, make sure to get rid of all catfish fat!!!!! On trout or salmon it's a good thing when you have fat when you smoke the meat, but on Catfish, it's a nasty flavor waiting to happen, so make sure you trim all that fat off before you heat it up... Good luck... Jeff
