How to grill catfish:
Step 1: Clean the catfish, remove the guts, rub salt and vinegar all over the fish to clean off the slime and eliminate fishy odor. Use a knife to make crisscross cuts on the body of the fish to allow it to absorb seasoning evenly and cook faster.
Step 2: Peel and clean the galangal and turmeric, then crush them into a paste
Step 3: Marinate the fish with 2 teaspoons of yeast; 3 tablespoons of white wine; crushed galangal, turmeric; 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper; 3 tablespoons of cooking oil; 2 tablespoons of sugar; 1 teaspoon of fish sauce; 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a bit of MSG. Marinate for about 2 hours to allow the seasoning to penetrate inside.
