I absolutely love catfish! Great for healthy eating! 😊

[@storeowner56]

Neal, that looks great! I love catfish and as a kid (I’m 67) my mama made grit cakes. She floured and fried them and served them with butter and syrup. We couldn’t get enough of them. My mama was from Arkansas, she was a true southern cook. You re-create memories, that’s a wonderful thing. 👊🏼

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Appreciate that...cheers

[@smokinjoeprestwood5889]

Neal, man you had me at blackened catfish. Then cheesy grits on top of that 😋 😋😋

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Great comfort meal...for sure

[@johnperkins8884]

Mmmm! Catfish and grits! Good choice!

[@bennickerson9581]

I love fish. More fish cooks. Maybe do a skin on prep to show how to make a crispy fish skin salmon

[@gharv1313]

Absolutely a banger Neal! That catfish looks amazing, what a meal! Cheers brother 🍻

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks bud...cheers

[@barryboudreaux106]

Love watching you and your wife. Can't wait until I get my porch built so I can get my Griddle on.

[@p.daniels165]

That’s some mighty fine lookin catfish. I’ll be putting that on the griddle this weekend 👍🏾 BTW watching your videos inspired me to recently purchase my first griddle. The 22” Blackstone and we love it😋

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Hey thats awesome...cheers

[@markknister6272]

Yum! Love blackened catfish. Now at home!!

[@KWeston1123]

Great video! Looks delicious!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks Kathy

[@williamperkins6585]

Wow can't wait to try this my man!!!

[@mikemosley4865]

Looka fantastic !!

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

That looks like the best version fo Blackened Catfish and Cheesy Grits I have seen prepared. And it sounded good too. Thanks so much for sharing with us Neil and Amy. Stay safe and keep up the fun. Fred.

[@rodderbob]

Grits are under appreciated I feel. When done right, the smooth, creamy, warm mouth feel is a terrific compliment to many meals. Like that you briefly explained how to make griddle cakes out of the leftovers as well. Versatile side...............

[@TheFlatTopKing]

I saved them for this weekend when I smoke and briase a lamb leg with root vegetables wine etc...perfect combo...

[@barryboudreaux106]

Looks delicious.I like the way it looks when you flipped it.

[@rodneymcnulty7961]

That looks so delicious

[@kenlemmond673]

Perfect video at the perfect time! I want to try this with speckled trout, which we almost always fry! Can't wait to try blackened on the Blackstone.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Heck Yeah....love that..for sure...been fishing in Keaton Beach Fl for em.....good for sure

[@cedaroakfarm8596]

A little more griddle magic from the Master, looks great and we love all types of fish recipes on the griddle. Especially the blackened recipes. Your other recipes have rocked and made super meals indeed. Not into gritts, but so many variations you could try.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Hey bud...absolutely maybe a mashed potatoe

[@cedaroakfarm8596]

perfect suggestion @@TheFlatTopKing

[@krisd8511]

Oh thank you so much for this video. Definitely saving this one and going to try this. I struggle with fish sticking to the griddle but you make it look easy. I bow to thee!!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Your very welcome, glad it was helpful!

[@markmauer1219]

Can't wait to try this. Love your videos!!!!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Hope you enjoy

[@dentfelix3624]

Wow! That will make your mouth water!!! I see this in my future.

[@zimmy1958]

That looks awesome!! Gotta do that tomorrow night

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Hope you enjoy

[@ShellyTN]

Fantastic Video! Reminds me of eating fish and grits in Charleston, SC growing up! Can’t wait to try this!

[@FoodiesAndFundies]

WOW, That looks amazing

[@marcoesquandolez4737]

This is a dish I’ll try for sure

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Heck Yeah...thanks

[@stonerscravings]

I love catfish. That looks awesome brother ❤

[@bobbicatton]

That looks fantastic! I want to dig into that meal👍😊

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Absolutely

[@basilipujolterrado2513]

Looks good!! I love your fish griddle recipes!!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks so much Basil

[@jamesking9807]

That looks so good! Nice job.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

[@mikefondren2385]

Hey Neal, for those folks that are trying to do the Keto diet, this would make a great entre - just leave off the grits (pretty much zero carbs). Maybe that will help with your New Year's resolutions!

[@tbonetx9736]

Enjoyed the video , I don't make enough blackened recipes ... cheese grits are on fire !!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Very true...heck even shrimp as well...

[@peggywinslow408]

Are y’all reading my mail? Yum you’re absolutely amazing!! I am so thankful for all that you do!! Keep up the great work please!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Hey thanks Peggy...really appreciate that..cheers

[@philipschmidt1801]

I’m from Southern California and have never had grits or catfish. I’ve blackened about every fish we have locally and I love it, chicken also….you are on point slicing the chicken into a thinner piece, otherwise it gets overdone on the outside and you lose the juiciness. I will be trying both of those. Looks amazing!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

I appreciate that..if you do try this...let us know what ya think...especially being your first time..

[@MichaelB713]

I made it just like your recipe and it was so delicious. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Glad you liked it!!

[@bradcampbell624]

I'n with you on the 80/20 blackened fish (and pork). You nailed this one, the grits too. I do really love shrimps in my cheesy grits as well when they are fresh & briny (I miss Charleston SC...)

[@ChrisBQue]

You make catfish actually look good. I will try this with chicken, I don't eat fish. Great cook Neal.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Completely understand...cheers bud...

[@Robert-Harleyville]

Mmmmmm, That looked absolutely delicious, I love catfish. Never had it with grits though, I will have to give this recipe a try with the sausage and cheese grits. Looked so yummy. Take care and stay safe in East TN.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Will do...thanks

[@andrewwissingthetrucker5236]

I've not been a fan of grits(my wife loves them) but those look good. Best blackened seasoning i think is Chef Paul Purdom Blackened redfish seasoning. You dip the fish in melted butter then give it a good coating of seasoning before the butter sets. Then in a HOT cast iron skillet or i use my Blackstone.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thats a good one as well...we have used that as well on this channel

[@DS-xl1ro]

Nice vid. I'm not a fish fan, but I would try this. It looks delicious. Cheese grits look good. Thanks.

[@jmert_5859]

Dat luuk guuuud. More of the everyday cooks? Supply us with some meal ideas.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Will do ...thanks

[@curtdunlap6818]

Oh man, I love catfish! I hate to sound like a broken record, but I gotta try that one too! That looks yummy! I love cheesy grits too!

[@hambix1032]

[@ScienceMatters.]

Very nice!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks

[@eugeneradford3827]

Dude I’m such a sucker for catfish and that looks sooooo delicious I’m jealous good job buddy

[@Lettuce-and-Tomatoes]

That’s some professional level blackened fish! 👏🏻 I recently watched an America’s Test Kitchen video where the host made his own blackening seasoning. It looked really good, it was made with common spices and it’s inexpensive compared to the commercial stuff. I’ll post a link to the video if anyone is interested.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Please do...

[@TheFlatTopKing]

@@Lettuce-and-Tomatoes I have not

[@PopsAllgood6967]

Neal, I can almost taste that catfish and those grits. 😋😊

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Absolutely

[@kurtd6487]

Going to try fish soon!!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Absolutely

[@garretthegriddler]

Fish is probably my least eaten meat but that'd have me asking for seconds haha I sure do love some grits and sausage and peppers. Tasty looking cook!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Heck yea...thanks bud...cheers

[@masterlee4370]

So I was sitting here watching the entire video and everything looked awesome. But then the wheels started turning and I began to wonder if anyone else thought about this. I pondered on it for a while like it didn't matter but it did. I kept thinking about that movie. The one where the lawyer Vince Gambini asks the witness who was Mr. Tipton about his breakfast. Mr. Gambini asked him what he had for breakfast. He said eggs and grits. Mr. Gambini asked him how long it took him to cook his breakfast Mr. Tipton said it took him five minutes to cook it. Were they instant grits or regular grits Mr. Gambini asked. Mr. Tipton said "Regular, no self respecting Southerner uses instant grits, I take pride in my grits" So then Mr. Gambini asked him how was it he could cook his grits in five minutes when the whole grit eating community takes 20 minutes to cook their grits. His answer was "I'm a fast cook I guess" So how long did it take to cook them grits? Are you a fast cook? lol.

[@steveboone5480]

Kinders ain’t nuthin but the truth brutha!!! Their Woodfired Garlic is my go to!!!

[@gregjulian1044]

Yummmmey!!!

[@jayroser9876]

Making me hungry again

[@Stump44]

You'd have to FORCE me to eat that!!!

[@praetorxyn]

Good stuff. It's hog killing season here, so yesterday I canned 72 wide mouth pints of ham / shoulder meat, today I vacuum sealed a bunch of sliced loin to freeze. Still have to can 17 more wide mouthed pints of ham and shoulder, two dozen wide mouthed quarts of sausage, two dozen wide mouthed pints of sausage, however many wide mouthed pints it takes for the remaining loin meat, and I'll probably be vacuum sealing and freezing about 75+ pounds worth of sausage patties. It'll be a busy week.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Geeze thats some work..but well worth it...

[@praetorxyn]

@@TheFlatTopKing Yeah, the work is all up front at least. Then throughout the year when we need meat we just open a jar or two, or thaw some meat and open a bag.

[@frankmarullo228]

This looks good guys ( I say guys cause Amy is just as much a part as you Neil ) question did you ever make a sea food gumbo ? Thank you Frank from montana......

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Not on the channel...its more of a container style dish that would need a pot or similer

[@Derek_Brandenburg]

How long did you cook the fish for on each side??

[@TheNudeAmerican]

Even though I'm from the north I'm still not willing to go outside when it's that cold to cook. However I still like cooking on my indoor commercial griddle. It may smoke my room up a bit, but I just take down my smoke detector before I cook and air the place out and put it back when I'm done.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Completely Understand

[@jaddie32811]

Hi Neal...Can you cook cod the same way also on the griddle ?

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Yes...BUT cod has more of a tendency to break when its cook from the flakeyness...so be extremely careful....use pieces that are not to thick that you have to flip often..

[@johnperkins8884]

Off topic - where did you get the American flag and USN seal artwork? Thanks

[@MilRetired_GoCanes]

How do you sterile a griddle after grilling shellfish like shrimp? My wife is allergic to shellfish and I love seafood.

[@timburton9514]

Sounds like you got the sinus crud that’s going around

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Man honestly since mid OCT....i cant shake it...

[@joecurau1406]

All I can say is…….Man, just man!!!!!

[@karlknocker7007]

good luck cooking that for 6 people as easy as that.Disaster and a mess waiting to happen...another tv cook

I always appreciate your content, but catfish🤢🤮
