I'm a city girl, from the land of the Coney Dog. Nowadays, I prefer my fish barely cooked (if at all). That's another reason for me to shy away from freshwater fish: they have a lot more parasites that can harm me.. > As for catfish, I remember muddy catfish from my childhood, catfish was a staple along the Mississippi and it's tributaries. Now, catfish is farm - raised, and thus has a "cleaner" taste. But a lot of this farmed catfish is now I understand from Asia, sooooo... Must be like tasting cilantro. If you're a mud-taster, no freshwater fish will be good. The last catfish I had was in Thibodeaux, LA, in 1989, in a restaurant. I had a head cold, and it still tasted like I was eating mud.

I just caught a glimpse of a giant catfish on some show, I think they were on the Amazon. It was big, but what was scary ... it growled like a dog. Loud. Not sure if the ones you grew up with growled. nancy |

We did have a big dog (part German shepherd) in Thailand and there was a catfish in the pond in our yard. That catfish was a bold one. It used to tease the big barking dog unmercifully. Nip it on the nose, even! The dog did finally win. You can only tease a dog for so long before it will finally jump into the shallow pond and eat the fish. Jill |
