If you prefer, use swordfish or any other hearty fish in place of the catfish in this recipe.
Also, if the blackened spice is a bit too spicy for you, cut the peppers back to half.
As with any recipe, if it turns out you've peppered the dish too much, simply serve a dairy-based sauce with the dish or, in the case of a salsa or other liquid, just add some sour cream or milk.
