I like about any kind of fish if it's filet out and fried. . we soak our cat fish in ice water and usually chunk it up more like nuggets to take out all the dark "mud vein" is what my family calls it. Corn meal with a touch of flour and whatever seasonings I decide to throw on it. Seasoned salt usually. Deep fry in peanut oil is what I prefer. Probably not too good for ya but it sure is yummy!
