Dover is in the UK, dummy. And of course I've not eaten fresh fish,

catfish.

Hasn't been any fresh catfish coming out of the Mississippi river since
practically the days of Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain); it's far too

polluted.

In Mississippi, at least, most of the restaurants that serve fried catfish
are serving farm-raised fresh (not frozen) fish the size of "channel cats",
which are fried whole. Most of those places will serve it family style,
where platters are piled up with the fried fish to be passed around the
talbe. The same for the hushpuppies and fried potatoes.

I have a cousin who runs several catfish farms in central MS.

As for catfish straight out of the MS, it's still fished, but most all
that is sold for consumption is farm - raised.

I grew up a few miles from the MS (in Illannoy), and we had from - the
- river cats all the time. We'd go down to the fish market and the
monsters would be in large horse tanks with aerated water, being fed a
diet of cornmeal. This would purge the beasts of most any gunk,
catfish are real bottom - feeders and were so considered a "dirty"
fish, they had a stigma of being "poor food". They could be pretty
rank if the didn't undergo this purging process...

Sturgeon underwent this process too, those suckers can get BIG...and
once in a while the fishermen would bring in a FUGLI garfish as an
"oddity", pretty scary.

Now catfish is considered a "white meat", and aside from stores that
cater to a largely black clientele, it's almost as expensive as other
"respectable" fish...at least in Chicawgo.

One of my fave meals is catfish nuggets stir - fried with veg 'n Asian
stuff; catfish is always on the menu at the Viet and Thai places I
frequent. At those places it's primarily bone - in, no wussy
filets...

Do you have something against cats? 😉 Just kidding! I love my cat but she
doesn't eat like this (seriously, this is a cat food recipe - you can Google
it)

Gotta Have Sole

1/2 pound fillet of sole
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
Water (as needed)
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons chopped liver
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup cooked rice

Place sole in a small, greased baking dish. Sprinkle with parsley. Add
enough water to just cover the bottom of the dish. Bake in a preheated 450F
(230C) oven for 10 minutes. Cool then and shred with a fork.

Melt butter in a small saucepan. Stir in flour and heat until bubbly.
Gradually stir in milk and simmer, stirring constantly, until mixture
thickens. Remove from heat and add cheese, liver, and salt, stirring until
cheese has melted.

Add the flaked fish and rice to cheese sauce and stir well. Let cool.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

My cat's better not see this, I draw the cooking for cats line at
grinding raw chicken with extra hearts, livers & gizzards. My kitty
boys love ground chicken, I was feeding it chopped but the kitten took
to dragging his under the kitchen table. Ground it stays off from my
floors. An aside, raw food is a relatively new addition here and I am
getting a kick out of supermarket cashier reaction to packages of
"chicken guts."

I'm sure there are other uses for chicken livers and gizzards than feeding
cats 🙂 My former fiance loved breaded deep fried chicken livers. It was a
southern thing, I guess (and also a grew up *poor* thing). I remember Ray
being besotted with this one place that had fried chicken livers on the
menu. It grossed me out, but hey, no skin off my nose if he wanted to order
them. I can't recall what I ordered but it was probably some innocuous
pasta 😉

I seriously doubt you've ever eaten sole, dover or otherwise... unless

they could have fresh flounder. There is no sole in the US, it's a

seafood.

He is right on this. When I worked in the fish department at the grocers,
the suppliers often substituted frozen flounder for sole. Told us 'boobus
americanus' would never know the difference. When I was shipped flounder
however, I put it out as flounder, not 'sole'.

LOL. Catfish nuggets. When FBS was in tech for culinary he convinced his
younger brother (who was maybe 10 at the time) that catfish nuggets were
what was left after you gelded a catfish. Thanks for the chuckle, Greg.

Good for you, There is no sole in the US, unfortunately.
The public is getting misled. Flounder is a good fish, so why not call
it by its real name?

For me sole is the same as flounder only thinner. Obviously, I'm not
a big fish fan. Fish is fish and flat fish is still flat fish.
