Catfish?

[The_Grinder]

Quick question here. While out at Costco today I decided to pick up some catfish. I just all of the sudden realized that I have never eaten it, and the price was good. What are your opinions on it? Protein/mercury levels both acceptable to eat on a regular basis? What cooking ideas would u have??

its not bad but the best either. high cholesterol. eat what you have and then switch to salmon.

Point taken about the cholestrol Bouncer, ill keep an eye on it. i had it tonight cooked in the skillet in some EVOO. I cut it up, put it over a bed of spinach with some onions, seasoning, lemon juice, and fat free dressing. It was pretty much amazing. :D

Good seafood really shouldn't stink or taste fishy. You're really missing out on such a good source of protein!

I'm going to have to force myself to try some one day.

not a bad choose only a 1/3 of the omega 3's fatty acids "healthy fats" salmon does.

don't eat these:
sharks, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish - high in mercury "migratory" fish.

yup, fresh fish that has been handled properly should have no smell. fish that smells like fish should be left alone.
