The 2nd best way I have had it is in a sauce picante... I bet that's tasty. I never had catfish that way, but have done it with other fish.

I like to grill catfish, and cook it this way often. Cut the fillets into steak sized chunks, for even cooking. Drizzle olive oil on pieces and season to your liking. I season the fish just like I would deer steak.
You want a hot grill, with clean grates. Use tongs and dip a folded paper towel into oil, then rub across the grates this will prevent sticking.
Put the fish on the grill, after a bit you can see the lower part of the fish change a different shade of white. Flip the fish, cook until done.
If the fish sticks to the grill, you either skipped oiling the grates or tried to flip the fish to soon. I use these, and spray oil them first to grill fish... This is how I grill it. I eat it almost weekly.

We cold smoke the big ones. Cut them in 8 to 10 inch long pieces, brine, put in smoker with a board on top of the pieces with a couple bricks on top. Helps slowly squeeze out a little moisture from the bigger ones while smoking at 140° to 180°F for 12 to 15 hours

We seasoned some fillets tonite and put them on the grill. I thought they turned out well.

I smoke it over Cherry wood. Put the fillets in the fridge over night in brown sugar and salt water mix then smoke over Cherry. Everyone loves it. Brown sugar aint exactly part of a low carb diet.
