Yeah, I try to avoid Olathe unless I'm absolutely required to be there, so I probably missed that one.

(You know, don't want to run the risk of running into petegz28 frothing at the mouth or anything ;))

A life without fried catfish, is no life at all... fillet or on the bone, which i like best, in cornmeal, black pepper & a bit of flour?

Put that with some buttered bread, thickly sliced onion of any kind & some sweet tea?

A Paupers Feast, Worthy of Kings.

she loves it when i...
oh wrong poll

My wife is one of those people that loves fish and seafood but won't eat catfish. I think that she thinks they're almost like carp or suckers. I've tried to get her to try my fried catfish nuggets with a mustard dipping sauce but she refuses. To eat their own.

Hell yes I eat catfish...and bass and crappie and bluegill.

I'd wager that most of the catfish you eat at the catfish houses and other restaurants come from fish farms...they're not grubbing sludge off the bottom of a dirty river.

Yeah, that’s typically my problem with the channel cats and bullheads. You catch them on the most rotten shit you can keep on a hook.

I know some guys who will run lines in the river, and they'll put the fish in a cattle tank for a couple of days to "flush them" before eating them.

That’s what we’ll do also. Motorcycle Drag Racing buddy and I will run trot lines through spring, in addition to pole fishing for a Friday Night get together, then throw what we catch in a stock tank full of fresh water.
MDRB has a pretty sweet set up with two aerated stock tanks, one for bait and one for what we catch.

Just like shore lunch near Minake, ONT.

Crappie is good, if you catch a mess of them enough to fry.

It's all a matter of how you prepare it and cook it. For grilling trout, an old gentleman recommended tabasco in the belly after cleaning, and just grilling it. That's about the best recipe I've found, so far. Catfish and bass are good, cooked in that fashion, too. The simplest things, one can write a book about, or just say it, and be done.

'nuf said.

Yes. Walleye is by far the best freshwater fish. I'd put crappie and perch 2nd. All others that I can catch - meh. Fish farm catfish and salmon are good too.

How in the world do you clean them? I just filet them and there are no bones left.

Nope, smells like pussy.

I had some recently that was a Cajun with a jalapeno cream sauce with roasted red potatoes. Absolutely delicious.
