Catfish: Do you eat it?

[Mr. Flopnuts]

I haven't had it for years. Breaded some up lightly tonight and fried it. I forgot how good that stuff is. I've heard a lot of people refuse to eat it and I can't figure out why. So it's a bottom dweller, it's delicious.

How about you? Do you eat it?

[DaFace]

I generally enjoy it, but haven't had it in years.

[Mecca]

I'm not a big fish eater but I've been eating more since I've been dieting and all that, it's ok.

all the fish i eat have to be that process stuff that doesn't actually taste like fish anymore.

I've been told it's all in the cleaning and prep. The first I ever had was nasty, haven't been back for seconds.

Blackened. I forgot about that! I'll take white fish blackened for a healthy alternative to breaded and fried.

That's what inspired the poll. I picked up some up at the grocery store and made it tonight. It had been years and years since I ate it last. I'm sitting here with a full belly trying to figure out why I waited so long. It was delicious.

The idea was to grope around the underwater river bank until you came to a hole. Then, you jammed your hay hook around inside the hole and yanked on the rope. When the old guy saw the rope yank, he would haul us in ... preferably with a catfish stuck to your hay hook. Ever since then, you couldn't pay me to eat a catfish. No way. In fact, those emotional scars are so deep, I even have a problem with rowboats. I'd just as soon douse a rowboat with gasoline and burn it to ash as look at one.

Sounds like kind of noodlin' with kid bait.

I think that's why it's been so long since I've eaten it. It's never on the menu anywhere I go, and Seattle has a lot of seafood restaurants.

Did I fudge on my grammar? If so, I'm ignorant to it.
