I do not get to catch catfish -- but his works with Halibut and Rock Fish

and as I remember, should work with big rock fish --

A fiery thai curry paste would get this one really smoking --  A few chopped
fresh peppers in the marinade would be good too --

This is the favorite fish recipe for the family

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                        ***Marinage for the fish chunks***
     1/4  cup           Vegetable Oil Or Olive Oil
   1      tablespoon    Finely Chopped Garlic
                        ***The Sauce***
   1      16            Ounce Can Tomato Puree
   1      Tablespoon    Curry Powder -- Mild to hot
   4      tablespoons   Fresh Lemon Juice
   2      tablespoons   Soy Sauce
   1      cup           Chicken Stock
   1      teaspoon      garlic -- chopped fine
                        ***The Crumbs and Cheese***
   1      cup           Bread Crumbs
     1/2  pound         Sharp Cheddar Cheese Grated -- (About 1 Cup))
                        The fish -- in pieces like stew meat
   2      pounds        Halibut fillet -- in 1 inch pieces

In a large glass or stainless steel bowl beat the oil,  the garlic and a few
grindings of pepper together with a whisk until the ingredients are
thoroughly mixed.  Add the fish and turn until coated and marinate at least
2 hours up to 24 hours.  In a small sauce pan make the sauce by combining
the tomato puree, garlic, the curry powder, lemon juice, soy sauce and
chicken stock. Heat to boiling, stir thoroughly and hold at a simmer.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Combine the bread crumbs and cheese in a
plastic bag and add the fish to coat a few pieces at a time.  Place  coated
fish pieces a non-fat cooking sprayed flat dish.  Arrange the fish side by
side with one layer only.  bake the fish undisturbed in the oven for about
10 minutes.  Meanwhile, set the pan of sauce over high heat and bring to a
boil.  Remove the pan from the heat and after the fish has baked for about
10 minutes, spoon about half the sauce evenly over the fish.  Bake the fish
for about 5 minutes longer.  Serve at once directly from the dish and
present the remaining sauce in a dish

The flavor is different with different curry powders or curry pastes.  Chili
heads will go for the Thai currys (great and very hot)
Cheese variety can be changed for different flavors also.  Aged Sharp
Cheddar is the family favorite
