The thrill of the grill last night was catfish for us, no matter that it was really chilly out there, and like a late September day!
Most of the time, I cover the fish with a spicy rub, but recently I saw this recipe on a card at the grocery store, and had to give it a go.
Wine in addition to lime juice, chopped parsley, dry mustard, chili powder and seasonings are stirred together for this marvelous marinade.
The recipe called for Chardonnay, I had Pinot Grigio on hand, and used it. The catfish marinated for a short time and was cooked over a hot grill for a really tasty catfish dinner.
Here’s the recipe:
