Blackened Catfish & Swamp Venom

Chef Wil

<p />heres a pic of blackened catfish and Nature Boys' Swamp Venom.
Heated cast iron grate to 525 degrees for 45 minutes, dusted with swamp venom, coated both sides with melted butter, and cooked 3 1/2 minutes per side. Eggers.......if you have not had the chance to taste Chris' rubs, all I can say its your loss. This is one of the very best rubs I have ever tasted and having been a chef for the last 27 or so years, I have tasted many rubs. " Git yu some "
Thanks again Chris.

Chef Wil,
MMMmmmm! I love the picture. Especially the presentation and the colors. May I use some of your garnish selections? I have in the past served steamed broccoli and applesauce as sides.[p]Banker John

Chef Wil

Nature Boy,
you really gotta good thing going Mang!!! I have access to many different veggies and such, i coulda dressed that fish up with anything and it woulda shined, but I like the simple life.
To the eggers watching this post.......designate a skillet just for blackening or you will have the pleasure of reseasoning your skillet quite often, bringing the skillet to a high heat will kill your seasoned skillet.

Chef Wil, I would not expect less from you - that plate really shows your dedication to GREAT COOKING & PRESENTATION.
Your years of training & hard work paid off & is worth every bit of it. CONGRATULATIONS.[p]

Chef Wil,[p]Sweet!..... man, the Swamp Venom blackened up really nicely..... I can almost smell it.[p]You heated the cast iron grate and cast iron skillet to 525 together for 45 minutes? The grate marks on the fish are from a ridged skillet?
Just curious and hungry this a.m.[p]John
