I live one mile from a catfish farm in southwest Louisiana, which is owned by a friend of mine. His ponds are “fish out,” which means anyone can come and fish. When you get through fishing you take your catch to the office where they weigh it and charge so much a pound live weight. They will clean it and bag it for you (it costs twenty cents a pound more) or you can take it home and clean it yourself. I keep catfish in my freezer at all times. What you are eating looks absolutely amazing and you did a spectacular job as always! Kudos, my friend.
