Method
- Clean the catfish thoroughly, rubbing with coarse salt to remove any slime, then rinse well and pat dry.
- In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, calamansi or lemon juice, garlic, ginger, salt and pepper.
- Rub this mixture all over the fish, inside and out.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20–30 minutes.
- Brush the fish with oil and grill over medium coals or on a grill pan, turning occasionally, for about 10–12 minutes per side or until the skin is charred in spots and the flesh is flaky.
- Transfer to a platter and serve hot with a soy–calamansi or vinegar dipping sauce.
