Are they safe to eat where you live? Can't eat what we catch here. 3M and Monsanto have poisoned the waters in N. Alabama.

Re: It's fried catfish month
Lake Mead and its feeders, they are ok to eat. But I just don’t. When I was living in Maryland many years ago, my dad and I would fish the Potomac and bring out catches back for mom to cook. Bass, catfish (blue and channel, NOT MUD), and carp. Most disgusting thing I ever tasted was carp. Probably why I don’t eat that stuff to this day.
But dad liked it…..no account for taste.

Strictly a store-bought fish eater here. I wouldn't know how to clean a fish if I was handed one.

Thin fried catfish has to be one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten.

Re: It's fried catfish month
Mom cooked up the catfish one day on the grill. For the life of me, I don’t know how she prepped it, it was tasty and I did eat it. But that was a lifetime ago.
