Soak skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Cut catfish fillets into bite-sized pieces.

Chop onion, bell pepper, and parsley finely.

In a bowl, combine catfish, onion, bell pepper, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Mix well to coat the fish evenly in the marinade.

Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Thread marinated catfish and vegetables onto soaked skewers, alternating pieces.

Place skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until fish is cooked through and flakes easily.

Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Serve with lemon wedges and additional parsley.
