Frying may be the most popular way to cook catfish, but our Smoked Catfish recipe lets you play with seasonings and wood flavors to create a new favorite dish. They’re dry brined with sugar and salt, smoked over alder wood and basted with a Cajun honey glaze for a touch more sweetness with a spicy bite.
