Best catfish cleaning video I’ve ever seen. No waste whatsoever

@McGieHomesteadAdventures Год назад

Wow, thanks!

@chrishenicke2052 2 года назад

You are correct sir, flatheads are best eating. Though they have many names depending on where you’re at… Flathead, yellow cat, Opelousas all the same fish. They are not as plentiful as blues and channels in Texas. You do have to trim catfish fillets and take all the “bloodline” off or it will taste funky. If trimmed and cooked right I’ll put catfish up against any fish. 👍

@McGieHomesteadAdventures 2 года назад

Absolutely! You got it!

@joannfleener8922 2 года назад

Cut the gills, and put them upside down in a bucket to bleed them, and then it's not to bad.

@reformedgringle 9 месяцев назад

Cutting the mud viens not even necessary. Just marinate the meat in Italian dressing or buttermilk .

@chrishenicke2052 9 месяцев назад

@@reformedgringle bunch of the bigger flatheads have a half to an inch of red across the entire fillet. I’ll pass on the soaking, way easier to trim them. To each their own though.

@BrianAdcock 9 месяцев назад

The catfish meat is bloody because you don't bleed it. You also incorrectly process them

@babaoreally8220 10 месяцев назад

As catfish are voracious crawfish feeders,they often use their noses to flip and disturb the larger rocks they live under.A fleeing crawfish may be sucked in along with some small unwanted stone debris.I believe the natural adaption of the nose shape for shovel head and flathead cats is designed for getting under the edges of these rocks.A quick torquing/twisting motion turns the rock over.I’ve caught many of these,using crawfish,with scarring on their mouths from this activity.

Well done video sir! i love that you show how to use all off the catfish meat on both species. Soaking channel cats in salt water a great tip. I eat a lot of channel catfish. For me, the bigger the better. Another tip for channels would be to cut out the blood line of the channel. Makes a difference (sometimes) - depending on where and when they are caught.

@grandperesdream3183 2 года назад

I believe that catfish, like many 'striking' fish, tend to expand their gill covers, creating a little bit of a vacuum that helps draw prey into their mouths. If this be so, the cat may have been going for something hugging the bottom and got some loose bottom material along with the prey. What do you think?

That’s exactly what I think happened..... he just didn’t sort through it 😂😂😂

In my region flatheads are more abundant than channels. But the channels rarely get as big as yours. But the flatheads are probably the apex predator in most lakes. I catch them often while fishing for Bass. Sumtimes they will eat gravel or dirt if they have a stomach ache. They will carry the rocks for sumtime, the rocks help grind up the bones, feathers etc.

But I haven't seen anything about how to get rid of pin bones, which drive me nuts when eating fish that have them. Also, any recipes for non fried catfish? (Diabetic, so fried foods are something I should only do a couple of times a year). Thanks if you are able to take the time to answer my questions.
