Food and Drink Catfish: Do you eat it? - Page 5

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 03-02-2010, 09:14 PM

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?

It's actually on S 24th, and yes it's still open. I haven't been there in years though, I never really cared for the place all that much. Maybe I need to try it again sometime.

There's a catfish restaurant in Olathe on Ridgeview just south of 151st.

I love catfish. I like fish in general, though, almost any kind. We eat it regularly in our house Growing up in Western NY most of the bars, grocery stores and restaurants have a fish fry special on Friday where you get fried whitefish or haddock french fries and slaw. Put some malt vinegar on there and it's awesome. I'm partial to haddock.

I don't think they sell it in Denver, but when I lived in Texas the grocery store had a lemon-marinated catfish that we regularly bought.

Kevin, there's catfish in grocery stores all over town. You live on a river for pete's sake.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 03-02-2010, 11:51 PM

This has been an 80/20 poll almost the entire way through. I guess a lot more people eat catfish than I thought, at least according to what I read.

Could be a little weighted being a large base of mid westerners though.

I don't get down that way too often myself, they don't habla the Inglés in that part of town anymore.

Yeah, I eat all kinds of fish.

There's a nice place in Bellevue, Iowa right on the Mississippi River that does an all you can eat catfish weekend.

I'd like to live there.

Silock · 03-03-2010, 02:29 AM

I used to eat it a LOT when I lived in Texas. Would catch it and eat it myself. Caught some and cooked it myself this past summer in Kentucky. Not bad. Definitely not my favorite fish, though.

Catfish is great fried up, but it has to be the worst fish to broil or cook any other way than deep fry.

Blick · 03-03-2010, 04:45 AM

I had it fried when I was a little kid and I loved it. I haven't had it since then though.
