A Catfish recipe.
== Ingredients ==

== Directions ==
# Soak the wooden skewers in water and refrigerate for 1 hour.

# Combine the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl.
# Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
# Set aside.
# Cut the catfish fillets, lengthwise, into four thin strips.
# Two of the strips will be longer than the others.
# Thread one catfish strip onto each wooden skewer.
# Cover the catfish skewers with the marinade and refrigerate for several hours.
# When ready to serve, grill the skewers for 3 minutes per side and serve warm on a bed of cucumber salad as a first course, or from a buffet table with a choice of sauces.
