Actually, I can honestly say the only local fish I've ever really enjoyed was a pan fried Perch. We have bullheads and catfish pretty huge too, but they taste like mush to me. Need a good southern cook around here I think.
I concider bull heads to be trash fish. fun to reel in, but toss back. channel cat taste like mud if not cleaned good. Farm raised Cat however (which is what you get in a restraunt) is pretty yummy as its given cornmeal and other healthy foods.
the oney you see people noodle for, seem just like an over large bull head to me and dont think I would eat them either.
