Danny is correct on smoked catfish. Use apple or alder wood if you have the choice. In a survival situation any seasoned hardwood. Smoking hides any off-putting flavors. I smoke them gutted and skinned.
THIS sounds like a good idea ... I may have to get a fishing license and catch me some catfish now ... Just to try it ...
there's a joke in there somewhere
Not to me, maybe just use to it. That is how I usually cook it whether its filets from the store or fresh bottom feeder from some murky Oklahoma water. It's still good.
Hmmmm ... You guys have just about talked me into smoking some fish ...
Don't like catfish? City boys (and girls!)
Tilapia is bait.
Haha! GC just wishes I was a city girl. My grandma cooked a batch of bad catfish once when I was little.
Oh. My.
I've not been able to eat fried fish since. Or hush puppies. Just the smell of them cooking turns me a nasty shade of pale, running for the outhouse!
