Notes

  • Tips:
  • I used cherry wood pellets made by Traeger, which gave the fish an amazing flavor compared to the cheaper brands.
  • I would suggest only using fruit wood pellets as some of the other types can really soak into the fish and be too overpowering.
  • This is a very forgiving fish to work with, so you can add or take away ingredients to make it your own and you’ll most likely love it either way.
  • If you leave the catfish to marinate overnight, that’s the best option, but 4 hours will do the job.
  • It doesn’t matter the size of the fish or the time you cook it, as much as it does the internal temperature. As long as your catfish reaches 140 degrees, you’re good to go.
