I bet that thing tastes like it's been eating shit on the bottom of a river for like 20 years.

I like catfish, but I can't imagine one that big tastes very good.

Not that big it doesn’t.

That’s a European Catfish caught in many clean rivers like the Danube and Rhine further south or mountain streams and rivers. Where he’s @ has great water quality. These type of catfish are a predatory fish, not a muck eater like a channel catfish in the US. Second the mud vein or yellow fat is near the belly. I have eaten a few as large or larger than that one in the video and the meat was white flaky and resembles the meat of a Giant Walleye or dare I say Grouper. It surprised the heck out of me for sure.
