Maybe squeeze a little lemon juice on it right before you eat it. Not too far advance so it doesn't get soggy...
Also, I personally like the seasoned box of Z's because the regular kind doesn't have any. spice to it so the fishy taste tends to comes through.

They say if it taste fishy it's bad. I usually eat it anyway though. Soak it it mustard and adds Tony's.

How big were the filets? I find that larger catfish filets have more of that greyish-pink fatty stuff on them and need to be trimmed a bit better than smaller filets. Sometimes I even cut a small layer of the bottom off of small filets to keep it from tasting fishy.

trim grey off before frying

Trim off the grey and cut into about 1" wide pieces or call Middendorfs and ask how they make their fish so thin and tasty

If it tastes fishy, I throw it out. Fish that tastes fishy is usually spoiled or past their eating prime. I ate catfish when I was sixteen and the filets tasted fishy. I had food poisoning and having the throw ups and "hershey squirts" isn't a good thing. To this day, I'm still wary of seafood.

They probably cut it on a deli meat slicer. That's how a lot of restaurants do it. If you do it while it's frozen, it makes it even easier.

Pfft.... I've eaten many a fishy tasting filets and never had a problem. But I've eaten a lot of foul smelling , and under cooked meat and never got food poisoning either.

Does Joe Patti's even sell catfish?
Just by reading your two threads you don't seem to know what you're doing. Let someone else fry the fish.

Joe Patti's only buys and sells 9 to 12 ounce catfish fillets. They are farm raised in mississippi but at that size most definitely stronger tasting than most retail-ready catfish. The "blood line" which centers down the fillet is usually where the pungent taste originates. Angle your blade inward a quarter of an inch away from the center on each side and slice all the way through. If the fish has residual fat or skin beneath the fillet you should be able to remove a majority of it by scraping your blade along the grain path ( from the smallest end to the largest). Hope this helps
