fies? Is that suppose to be fires?

 

[Wurstmeister]

Great job Dave. I could have had enough with 1 of the little guys you caught?! Appreciate you sharing your excess with those who are hungry. BTW - How did the young'uns handle the catfish heads?

Interesting Video!!
The Catties look Great.
Catfish has always been By Far my Favorite Eating Fish, even back in the 50s when I think my family was the only ones in Pennsylvania admitting to eating Catfish. Everybody up here said, "Ewww--You eat Catfish???"
However the first thing I always do with a Catfish is Skin it.
Catfish skin is like thick rubber, like a Wetsuit.
I was glad to see it fell off in this video, later, but it would be better to remove it first IMHO. And they are soooo Easy to Skin.

Boy that the easy way to skin catfish. Going to have to try that. I have some friends that go noodling for them. Tried get me do it and said no way. They have had some close calls.

That's pretty cool, but that smoker would have to become a dedicated catfish smoker. I would not want to put any other meats in there as the fish smell will hang around.

And I still think I'd prefer to clean em and fry em.

Cool video, Dave!
I'll still take mine deep fried with fries and cole slaw thank you...
:-)

Great video and love to see another method and learned something new.

Easier to do with a bigger fire. Patio size offsets need some help to keep burning with minimal fuel.

Does anyone know the origin of these type of smokers?
