Yes, but there won't be an open casket, the body was pretty battered.

Fries and slaw, maybe a lemon wedge on the side, but completely optional.

Alas, we lay our brethern to rest tonight in a vat of hot oil.
He will surely szzle n spit in the hell fires of damnnation and flour and trimix.
And be redeemed in a steel basket and layed to drain on papertowels or newspapaer.
And yea, tho he be gone and desceasedd, he's at least comelpletyly coooked.
(tyheah I'm durunk , adn that's saturday for ya)
And yeh , brothers, lest yea be forgettin, we have crackers, ad cheese, and a bit of cider, and he wil be missed, and forgotteen and slathered on the toast in the morrowl . and we shall all partake of this goodnes,s.
(drunk part, did I mention it?)
and he will be long remembered as that big one that did not get away, and was good bater diped, n fried and served with hand cut ries. and some vinegar, and chips.

When you're in New Orleans and you go to the Audubon Zoo, you can always tell the locals from the tourists because the locals are the ones discussing the best recipes for the animals.

Reminds me of when I went with my sister and her son to a aquarium, he ordered fish sticks from the snack bar and while eating he asks "mommy is it true fish swim in schools?" and I couldn't help it I chimed in with "yup and you are eating a slow learner", he cried for a hour, dear sis still sends me coal for Christmas.

Yes, but IMO bring chips, some chives, pepper, and cream cheese as catfish is more tasty as a dip. Old fish like that don't taste like....what they're supposed too.

/good friend's dad is a catfish farmer.

Too bad it had to die on a crisp day... How old was it? It must have been fried... As for his sister, I whisker well.

Man, I sure like a good Friday Fish Fry. WIth some fries and slaw. I do quite a bit of halibut and shark fishing here in So Cal, but I need to head back to the midwest.

I need to go back and visit my friends in Milwaukee.

 
Third_Uncle_Eno 2008-11-09 01:30:15 AM  
i remember reading their 'whiskers' are dangerous, spikey, and possibly poisonous... or something...is that true?

This thread needs hushpuppies. Slaw is optional.

Here's the damn fish who died. Who the hell lets an article get written about the largest catfish in captivity, WITHOUT a picture?

"Known as "Big Blue," the 95-pound catfish was brought to the Ak-Sar-Ben Aquarium"

Slaw is most certainly not optional.

Mmmmmm, slaw. Mmmmmm, fried catfish. Mmmmmmmmmm....

OMG!!! I laughed so hard when I read this... Chips came out my nose....and I just had fish for dinner.

Fried catfish is great, but I am sincerely disappointed that I didn't see any mention of hot sauce yet in this thread.

All you can eat catfish at Clark's Fish Camp in Jacksonville Fla for the win

Caturday?

 
Farkthulhu 2008-11-09 01:54:17 AM  
I am very sad.

Big Blue was the main attraction at the Aksarben Aquarium, and they have enough trouble as it is getting people to drive off the interstate and visit the place.

If any of you find yourselves between Lincoln and Omaha on I-80, look it up. It's worth the buck or 2 to get in.

Now I have to add a fried catfish recipe, as well. Damn, I hate tinkering with that thing.

They used to have a 147 lb Catfish at the Dallas Aquarium, It's been a few years since I saw it last though, so it might be dead by now. Damn thing looked like a shark.

So let me ask the question that's hangin over everyone's head in this thread: your catfish, bone in or fillet?
