Dear all:
Catfish meat is tender and delicious, when I was in Taiwan, some times the farmer sold to my mother when they cought in the rice field or the small brook in the wild.
You can cook with chinese herbs and add some rice wine; that is good for winter time.
It will keep you warm and against the cold or flu.
Also in Thai food, there is one dish called Deep Fried Catfish, for the people love spicy food that is a bomb.
This is cheap fish for poor people.
You can catch it in wild.

have prominent barbels; what defines a fish as being in the order Siluriformes are in fact
certain features of the skull and swimbladder. Catfish are of considerable commercial
importance; many of the larger species are farmed or fished for food. Many of the smaller
species, particularly the genus Corydoras, are important in the aquarium hobby...................
