      Directions

      Preheat the grill.

      Coat each catfish fillet with the dry rub. Dip the fish into the oil and place the fillets on a hot grill to establish grill marks. After establishing grill marks and the fillets release from the grill, place the catfish into a smoker. Smoke for 2 minutes using the hickory wood chips. Add water to the chips and steam the fish for another 2 minutes. Remove the catfish from the smoker and serve immediately with homemade tartar sauce.

      Tartar Sauce:
      1 cup mayonnaise
      1/2 cup Dijon mustard
      3 tablespoons parsley leaves, chopped
      3 tablespoons green onion, chopped
      3 tablespoons capers
      3 sweet gherkins (recommended: Mt. Olive Sweet Gherkins)
      1 tablespoon gherkin juice
      3 tablespoons lemon juice
      1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
      Salt
      Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Season with salt, to taste. Chill, covered, in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
