Catfish - How to Catch 'Em and Cook 'Em
By Pat Leff Hartwell
(As published in Utah Fishing magazine)
"How did you catch that thing? What do you do with it?"
These are two of the most common questions my husband and I are asked
when we come into dock with a livewell full of catfish. The old opinion
sticks, no matter how worldly and informed people become, that catfish are a
trash fish and therefore not fit for eating.
They are not inedible, folks, and you don't have to be poor and living
on the Bayou to enjoy them. It seems that most folks simply are uneducated
about catfish and the few who do enjoy this tasty whiskered fellow are
criticized. I am here to support those fellow catfish lovers and to
encourage others to try something new...

Make a note that in the article it suggests to pre-soak catfish in
salted water or milk a few hours before cooking to relieve the muddy taste.
