I never heard of doing that with catfish but it makes sense. What did you feed them, if anything?

We used to use a gutter spike and nail them thru the head to a tree in the back yard, then skin them back with linemans pliers, then clean them. It's good white meat. I expect it would be much better if you purified it.



I didn't feed them anything, it was only a couple of days. I learned the trick from a noodler who lived across the street from me. The flavor improves markedly with the removal of the dirt. I had an old board I would nail them to to clean them. But yeah, good eating.
