Fried Crispy Cajun Catfish Nuggets

Those look great!

I'm exactly the opposite with the wild vs farmed catfish, though. I think the wild ones taste about 100x better. And I love some Zatarains!

Used to hit a place in S MI that had all you can eat,catfish,perch,cod and walleye,,,,peanut oil, probably the best fried fish I've ever had,,,,if you wanted the walleye (which I did) had to get there early,,,,

How do they legally sell gamefish like walleye in restaurants? That would be highly illegal here. Or do they have some stipulation for farm raising them there like they do rainbow trout here?

I used to see bream "big bluegill" for sale in the markets and Grocery stores. I reckon they are farm raised and legal through biz license etc.

I ain't crazy about some of those Catfish Nuggets, some of them are the belly flaps and have the dark spots and can be gamey. Some are more white and good. I'm thinking about brining and smoking a bag of them i bought the other day, it was a brand I have never seen before.

Catfish again! I know it seems like I only eat, and post about catfish in here, but these were perfect. They weren't too spicy, and not overly crispy. They were just right. Didn't even need to dip them in ketchup or hot sauce, they were so tasty.

Don't need anything else if you want to stuff yourself on catfish. Like I do.

I've seen that bag of catfish in my stores, but never tried them. The ones I get are refrigerated then displayed on ice. I at least can see what I'm buying when I get them.

There are several all you can eat places up north that have walleye. There are two places in MI not far from my brother that have it 3 nights a week and they alternate nights so they do not compete with each other on Walleye night.

I did a little research, and apparently, Canada allows commercial fishing and sale for walleye, but the US doesn't. So those walleye up there in the restaurants come from Canada, I guess.
