My personal favorite way is to grill the fillets on an outdoor grill. Fillets need to be fairly thick or they will fall apart. Brush liberally with an olive oil mixed with your favorite spices (for me garlic salt, pepper, dill, and paprika). Let it sit for 10 minutes or so and then place on a medium setting on the grill for a couple of minutes on each side just to get a little blackening and starts to flake. The firmness of the catfish holds up really well on the grill. The oil prevents it from sticking and the flavor is fantastic. My whole family loves it this way.
My wife's favorite way is deep fried with homemade tartar sauce.
I also like it fried, sauteed (like I did with these) and smoked. I've even done fish tacos with it. Very versatile fish.
