re: mudcats good to eat

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
