    Dyehard, depending on size then the answers will be more accurate. I think a fillet about an 1 in thick would cook in about 10 minutes total. Fillet's can be either coooked blackened (cast iron skillet) or grilled. I think Car Wash Mike had a good one a while back. Just query the archives there are as many variations as tastes. I place mine in a sizzling plate with some EVOO and butter and DP Jamaican rub.

    Dyehard,
    I plank them with Alder planks, EVOO and your choice of seasoning (blacken seasoning works great) at 350-400 takes about 20 min until flakey.

    Dyehard,[p]My wife has taken to Chef Prudhomme's blackening spice on catfish - a quick wash of melted butter (which cools and stays on) with the spice (DP probably has one that'll work also) and then tossed on an iron skillet at the highest temp you can stand. Make sure they are done though - uncooked catfish is pretty tough.

    Dyehard,
    I do my fillets on a raised grid direct at about 375 starting with what was the skin side up. I just coat them with Italian dressing, season with your favorite rub. Turn them once after about 4 minutes. After turning, I cover them with chopped cilantro then place thin sliced lime on the cilantro. Cook until done, about 4 more minutes depending on fillet thickness.
    If you want the fillets with a little crust on outside, follow same procedure except cook at 500 for shorter duration. It will turn out great.
