I've gotta ask
Hillbilly:
Absolutely dead-on about the catfish. There are few fish better than wild-caught catfish. There are few fish worse than farm-raised catfish. farm-raised catfish taste like carp.
JoJoDapyro:
I guess I need to take a step back in what I said. My Grandparents live near a Catfish farm in Nevada. I have caught them out of those ponds and they were great. Maybe the time between catch and table? I know that freezing doesn't really matter in fish. In fact, most great sushi places use frozen fish, as just like other meat, it needs to cure before it is at its peak flavor. Maybe Catfish are better fresh? Who knows, I can only say I have never enjoyed store bought catfish. I was lazy today and yesterday and didn't get up to go chuck some spears. Maybe tonight.

My favorite catfish are about 4" to 6" long, skinned, gutted, rolled in seasoned flour and cornmeal and dropped in hot grease. Right out of the river is best. Served with hush puppies, coleslaw and extra cold beer. ;)

Man Pat, that sounds good! I haven't river fished for cats in years! The way I do them make them vast like they come out of the river!

I don't recall seeing you turn down or spit out any filleted, fried 15"-50" long catfish that we've fried up over the years, either. :D
