This is another of my personal favorite meals. I mean, tomato and meat sauce, pasta, and loads of gooey cheese - what's not to love? I got both my own love of it and the recipe from my paternal grandmother. I have absolutely no idea where she got the recipe (she definitely didn't come up with it herself; she was not what you could even vaguely call 'creative' in the kitchen), nor the name, which is bizarre to say the least.

Slovenian Grilled Catfish
There is an old Slovenian saying that fish must swim three times: first in water, then in oil, and finally in wine. In keeping with this saying, the subtle taste of this recipe goes beautifully with a good white wine.
This recipe is known as "Na Tržaški Nacin", or "Fish as from Trieste", and any fatty fish can be substituted effectively for the catfish. Although fairly simple, those who have had this recipe often consider it hands-down the best recipe for catfish.
