Clean and gut the catfish, removing any scales and innards.

Blend onions, garlic, and ginger into a smooth paste.

Mix the paste with vegetable oil, cayenne pepper, thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Coat the catfish thoroughly with the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

Soak skewers in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Thread the marinated catfish onto the skewers, alternating with bell peppers and tomatoes.

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the fish is cooked through and slightly charred.

Remove the skewers from the grill and squeeze lime juice over the catfish.

Garnish with chopped green onions and coriander before serving.
