we get frozen fish all the time. about 2-3 nighs per week. not sure how your supermarket is, but here they have great single sized filets in a package/frozen for like $1.25. we got 6 last week: salmon, cod, and tilapia.

another good alternative if you like catfish, is Swai. it's usually substantially cheaper and tastes like catfish.

Catfish in Seattle runs me $3 a pound if it's on sale. Closer to $5 when it's not.

I hate that ****ing highway between Jackson and Hattiesburg. Those rolling hills and lack of shoulders are frightening. That being said, there are lots of interesting roadside stands and such in that section.

Lots of great fruitstands and pecan houses on 49... aside from that, it is a boring drive... not like I70 boring but I know what you're saying.
and you're right, the mobile one (can't think of what it is) may be the worst

We heard rumor of one out in the country that was supposedly BYOB. We went to check it out on a Friday night. Being hesitant to just bust up in there with our beer (past experience told us this was a bad idea), we left it in the car and scoped the joint out. Walking in, the cake in the buffet was decorated.... with a bible verse. AT that point, we figured out we'd been misled and we'd found yet another dry catfish house.

I've yet to find a catfish house that serves beer. It's really strange.

I still may check out that one in Fayetteville sometime, I have friends who live outside of Neosho so I'm down that way occasionally. Maybe I'll just go for lunch.

NO!

I grew up 10 feet away from the Lake at Lake of the Ozarks. That's all I smelled all year long (yes, even winter). DEAD FISH!

Yuck! When I try to eat a freshwater fish the memories of the smells come back and I can't take a bite.

I have tried it, and actually like it, but I can't get past the smell.

Bread it and fry it. It doesn't smell like fish to me after that.

Catch it, clean it, bread it, and fry it... all in the same day.

I love to eat catfish it is probably my favorite fish to eat. I like crappie too but I can't buy that anywhere and I am too lazy to go fishing.

Heheh, that's pretty lazy.

Mr. Flopnuts 03-02-2010 10:12 PM

I went crappie fishing one time out of Bull Shoals between Branson and Rockaway Beach and I was the only ****er out there that didn't catch anything. :cuss:

I've heard mix messages about the cons of eating bottom feeders. I used to eat Tilapia but don't anymore. Sticking with sushi but even that has it's bad side.

Clean it, grill it, skin it, eat it. Or, just bread it in some flour and corn meal, and fry it. Good eats!

My dad and I had a great crappie fishing hole in Truman Lake. We would just drop our line and get hits every minute or two. Crappie is good eating but it has alot of bones.

Yeah, I agree with that too. Definitely not something I'd consume more than once every month or two.
