Flour does not belong on fish, people.  Yankees have all these weird fish they eat like pike and walleye and perch. I was at a meeting in WI where they took some big ole baitfish that were WHOLE and battered them and fried them and expected us to eat strange fried baitfish.
Those poor souls don't know how to take a nice catfish steak or fillet and some yellow cornmeal and a fry fish proper.
I guess the've never had buffalo ribs either. We are so lucky down here in AR. catfish would make me vomit.......along with trout.... You haven't had good pond raised catfish cooked right. River cat is too strong for me
i have not.....fair enough.... |

          Location: Bastrop, Texas | Do southerners eat carp and buffalo fish and sheepshead (the freshwater kind)? I thought they were fond of these species. I thought noodling originated in the south. They eat those things. There is some hope because southerners do like crappie. Good crappie is hard to beat. You guys should come up here for the eelpod festival they have in the winter. I bet you would find them delicious.
On another note, I love eating fish eggs fried in butter, Try that sometime. Yummm. Usually you get them in the winter. |

Black people eat those, and some of the old folks who lived through the Great Depression. The rest of us are spoiled. My grandmother could eat some nasty tasting fish. She was fond of fried catfish eggs as well. We used to raise catfish, so she had a never ending supply. |

hey dave... them catfish come from a long line of some of the bestest fish... mr whits daddy would have them trained when he walked out on the dock to come up and open their mouths and he would throw the cat fish food in to them at feeding time. it was a hoot to see them sit up and beg.  |

Yeah, I bet you do need a LOT of cornmeal to soak up the slime on those fish you folks eat. I want to taste my fish, not drown it in a bunch of corn or batter or CATSUP. The fish we eat up here is delicious, flaky and moist, but not oily. I don't eat fish that eats my poop in the river.
On the other hand, on a more serious note, some people up here do eat Northern. I will eat them one way, and this little pearl can be applied to catfish as well, I suspect. It's simple, but just try it and tell me it isn't delicious.
Take out a pound or so of frozen catfish filets. Boil 4-5 quarts of salted water, and drop in 1-2 bay leaves. Dump in your filets and bring back to a rolling boil for no more than 2 minutes. Dip this in melted butter. I swear it's just as good as lobster dipped in butter! The key is the bay leaf. This is simple and delicious. I think Northern has an awful metallic taste, normally, but when it's made this way it is exquisite! TRY IT!!! I promise you will love it. |
