When I was a kid we would deliver a five gallon buckey of them things one a week to an ancient fellar named Clem. He lived down the road. We caught them on trotlines/YoYos. We asked him how he cooked them and he told us he would "Scalds dem bassards" So maybe if you "scalds" them..
I will stick with the flatheads.

Of course they are good to eat...cut all yellow fat off and soak the fillets in a 9:1 ICE water to white vinegar soak...this removes all traces of blood and will firm up the meat (turning it light light pink to white like any other fillet) Most people I know then use this in a courtboullion and its good. Yellow Bullhead (Mudcat) stands up well to this type of cooking. We've fried them in the past prepared the same way and I've only met ONE person in my life who could tell the difference along side Blues or Channel prepared the exact same way....Cheers
