I wouldn't want to go swimming in most US rivers either. The only thing I know is that it doesn't have that bottom-feeding, scummy, taste that catfish has. Catfish meat is great stuff except for the taste. The second only thing that I know is that it hasn't killed me yet. That's good eats in my book..

In the new world we're going to need fish species that are prolifically sustainable to give some help to species that we're harvesting way too fast. If we're not going to stop eating fish, this is a good alternative. It's also a very easy fish to process. As far as meat goes, it's the closest thing we got to a shmoo in the real world.
