Catfish is excellent eating. Contrary to anything said here, the flesh of most catfish is firm and white and tastes nothing like mud. It has a moderately strong flavor but certainly a pleasant one which does belie its bottom feeder status. Wayne manages a couple of 2 foot plus cats every year we camp and those are prime nights of campfire eating. Properly prepared there are almost no bones encountered and lightly breaded, fried in butter.....hard to beat!
