Believe it or not, catfish make an excellent ceviche.  I soak the catfish
filets in cold water for a little while, dry them out with paper towels,
and dice them into half-inch to inch-long cubes (bite-size).  Put the cubes
in an airtight quart jar, along with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh mint
leaves (plus seasonings to taste, such as garlic salt, black pepper,
Tabasco Sauce) and cover with lime and/or lemon juice.  Leave them in the
refrigerator at least overnight and up to 24 hours, stirring or shaking the
jar every once in a while.  They will turn whitish-looking as they "cook"
in the lime juice.  Drain them well, and serve them on a platter, on
lettuce leaves, with chopped white onion, tomatoes and jalapenos.
