Yeah, you've bought into the idiotic notion that catfish are somehow
not clean. Must be hell to not be able to read and learn on your own.
Here, learn something, or at least try:
Habitat - Most common in big rivers and streams. Prefers some current,
and deep water with sand, gravel or rubble bottoms. Channel catfish
also inhabit lakes, reservoirs and ponds.
Feeding Habits - Feeds primarily at night using taste buds in the
sensitive barbels and throughout the skin to locate prey. Although
they normally feed on the bottom, channels also will feed at the
surface and at mid-depth. Major foods are aquatic insects, crayfish,
mollusks, crustaceans and fishes. Small channels consume
invertebrates, but larger ones may eat fish. Contrary to popular
belief, carrion is not their normal food.
Eating Quality - Considered one of the best-eating freshwater fish.
The meat is white, tender and sweet when taken from clean water.
Mt uncle was a caterfisherman here before he moved to Florida.
He could make a fishhead talk, blink and curl it's lip like Elvis.
I really miss him. I ate a lot of catfish. Uncle would bring a
couple hundred pounds of catfish and carp he had caught during the
week and kept caged into a black Chicago neighborhood, where
he would barter the smoking of what he wanted to eat and some beer
money for the remainder. I'm sure he ate some carp, but it was never
a big deal. Can't say i ever had it.
People who grew up or lived through hard times wouldn't get all
high-brow about disdaining carp.
OTOH, with pollution it doesn't hurt to be aware of what some fish
might be harboring, like mercury, other heavy metals PCB's, etc.
I don't trust that salmon my wife brings home sometimes from the
store, and told her not to buy it anymore. It don't taste right.
Pretty much off fish unless I catch it myself from waters I deem
acceptable. A neighbor insisted I take a big Coho he caught on Lake
Michigan about 15 years ago, even when I told him flat out I'd bury it
in the garden. He didn't want the damn thing either, and he didn't
have a garden.

People like JimH will eat fish out of the great lakes that are so
chemical laden that if you light a match next to one, it will ignite,
but they won't eat those nasty catfish~!- Hide quoted text -
