My tip for you is don't eat anything you catch from the Mississippi River!
Even when there are advisories, catfish usually aren't on those lists. Not sure why.
Ever see just how many bodies of water have consumption advisories? Check the link below. I posted a couple.
quote:
Big Alabama Bayou Limit consumption of all species to no more than one meal per month combined.
quote:
Gulf of Mexico No consumption of king mackerel; Limit cobia, blackfin tuna and greater amberjack consumption to no more that one meal per month.

When I've been involved in testing fish from contaminated water bodies, catfish almost always had the lowest levels of the pollutants of concern (PCB's, mercury, etc). Bass were often tops, and if you look at the Gulf Advisories, top of the chain pelagic are almost always the biggest concern. I think catfish having such a varied diet instead of all small fish, which create the compounding effect (bio-accumulation) is what keeps them from being a concern most of the time. Either that, or they are eating enough Mexican soap that they stay clean.
