Blackened Catfish is a flavorful and spicy dish that is a favorite in Southern cuisine. The dish is made by seasoning fresh catfish fillets with a blend of spices, then cooking them in a hot cast iron skillet. The result is a crispy and blackened crust on the outside, while the inside remains tender and moist. This dish pairs well with a side of rice or mashed potatoes, and a fresh green salad.
