A catfish is a bottom feeding bass. Everybody knows that. They even look identical when viewed through wet glasses. ---

Am I the only one here who’s ever had the pleasure of eating well-cooked freshwater bass? I’m not a fisherman myself, but when I was in college, I spent Thanksgiving and other short holiday breaks with one of the “non-traditional” students. Lois was a widow and involved in Parents Without Partners. She dated several men during the time I knew her, and one was a master angler who believed that whatever fish he caught should end up on the dinner table. On one occasion, I was fortunate to share in the bounty. ---

On one occasion, I was fortunate to share in the bounty. I know people eat them, although it’s been a while for me. On the other hand, it’s probably the most commonly caught and released fish if the early Saturday morning fishing shows are any indication. I’m distraught that the best “tasty saltwater fish” folks can come up with is cod. I think cod hardly has any taste. And it’s not the most delicate of white fishes. ---

Properly made fresh North Atlantic Cod tastes absolutely great! Just boil it, season with salt and petter, and serve with fresh potatoes and melted butter. ---
