Seasoning

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet (cast-iron works best) over medium-high heat. Open a window, because you may get a little smoke. This means the blackening process is working. Fry the filets on each side for 3-4 minutes, then remove from pan and serve immediately with your favorite Southern sides and lemon wedges or rounds.

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir

Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are great choices for Catfish. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. The Mark West Pinot Grigio with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.
