I'd only eat it if I was starving to death.

IWEI A buddy runs lines every spring during the flood season. The catfish he catches fry up just fine.

I wouldn't eat ANYTHING out of that river.
True story. A certain chemical plant I worked at would pull water from the Mississippi River for use in the process. They also had a permit for outflow from the plant into the river for excess water (treated, of course). There was an operating unit whose sole job was to make sure they delivered JUST enough water to the plant to meet their needs. Once that water crossed into the plant, it was too polluted to put back into the river and any excess water pulled into the plant had to be treated at very high cost before it could be flowed back into the river.
Yes, the Mississippi River is too polluted to be put into the Mississippi River.

Probably better than farm raised crap they sell in stores
But I don't eat any fresh water fish

There is nothing wrong with eating the catfish out of the Missisisippi River. It The very large ones may have some bio accumulation but I doubt you would be cleaning and eating >50 lb catfish. There was a study done when I was at LSU where they caught catfish from the river and tested for pollutants and were not able to find anything. The tremendous volume and flow of the river, the large quantities of humic acid (organic matter that acts as a floculant) were two of the reasons that were thought to have low levels of pollutant. You really are more likely to eat bad fish when taken from a pond with stagnant flow because toxins accumulate and concentrate over time.
Also the story about the river being too polluted....I think you misunderstood because there is no way that is right. Most companies will only take what they need from the river because it is expensive to treat the water and return back to the river. There are strict requirements as far as chemicals and even temperature of the outflow back to the river, so it is inefficient to take more than what you need.

Hell no not unless you want cancer

Catfish, Tilapia. Garbaggio. Do not eat.

Yes. Unless you wont eat catfish at all. The miss river floods or connects to most bodies of water in south LA.

The fish are ok to eat. I don't do it but there is nothing wrong with them
