Do you have any Cajun/Creole Seasoning in house?? Use it!
I don't know of a real subsitute, but if I found myself in your situation I'd probably dash on a little oregano...not the same as thyme, but y'all will enjoy the fish anyway!!
Have Fun!

You could just leave it out or try savory, marjoram or oregano

Yep, I use oregano in place of thyme often. I prefer the taste. 
I was thinking marjoram too... they seem farily similar in flavor.
This looks like the recipe I tried... it was good, but sure did smoke up the house!

I pick the fresh leaves in the garden but to my palete the rosemary is closer to the thyme than the greek oregano in my garden. To me thyme and rosemary both have a piney herbal edge to the flavor. I spilled the thyme seed by accident on the bricks of the patio that are set in quarry grit. The stuff grew like crazy. We walked on it as we used the patio. Just lost it all to the siding contractor that shoveled up the debries on the patio. I hope it will come back from the roots or its own reseeding.

For that recipe you might be fine just omitting it. In my experience herb flavors often get lost in blackened dishes due to the other strong ingredients used, unless there's an unusually high proportion of herb in the dish. If you have Italian Seasoning that would also work as well as the other suggestions.
