Pardon my ignorance but wouldn't the "muddy" taste permeate the buttermilk?

Frankly, I don't buy into the bmilk-removes-muddy-taste in the first place
and find the whole premise of muddy tasting catfish to be dubious in the
second. How is a bottom feeding fish most commonly found in muddy silt
laden water supposed to taste, like it lives in Perrier water? Gimme a
break. I've eaten catfish from all over the US and it always tastes just
fine to me, and without the help of buttermilk. Now, if you want to use
buttermilk to coat that fish before you dredge in cornmeal, I'll even help.
