When I was doing biological sampling of -you guessed it- fish, the way I'd kill them quickly was simply to plunge a scalpel directly into their brain. It's between but just behind the eyes.

Cube the meat and dust it with Cajun blackening spice before deep-frying it in hot oil.

Serve with chipotle mayonnaise- mix mayo, chipotle pepper flakes, garlic powder, and a little squirt of lemon juice. Allow this sauce to rest for an hour before serving to let the flavors marry.

If you don't get down with mayonnaise, chipotle pepppers in sour cream works very well.

Catfish tacos are great; take your chipotle sour cream and spread it in the center of a small flour tortilla, toss some roasted onion strips in there, your catfish chunks, shredded lettuce, and pico de gallo if you've got it. Don't use salsa; the flavor is too overpowering.
