Fried catfish brain sandwiches were one of the specialities of the
house. But when you consider the size of a catfish brain and how many
you'd have to catch to make up a sandwich I'm beginning to wonder if
they didn't use catfish roe and call it catfish brains as a sort of
local joke ...

I ate one on a dare and ended up enjoying it. But I tried not to think
too much about what a catfish looked like at the time. These days I'd
settle on plain old ordinary fried catfish with coleslaw and fries.
