catfish, continued

I've been trying to think of a good way to describe what catfish tastes like. The best I can come up with is "like cod or halibut, but definitely freshwater." Instead of having a different flavor than these other kinds of white fish, it was more that it had a LACK of some mysterious part of the flavor --which I can only attribute to the fresh vs. ocean water situation. (The catfish we had was from Mississippi freshwater. Actually I don't know if any kind of catfish can even survive in salt water....)

Boy, I hope that made sense. It's considerably past my bedtime!

PS--have I revealed myself to be terribly uncultured because I think these fish taste pretty much the same? :)
