- In this video I catch, clean and cook this species two different ways. I've had Gaftopsail Catfish fried before and it was delicious Now I'm going to taste test these catfish, one cooked with Blackened Redfish Magic and the other with Garlic, Butter and Lemon. The results were surprising to me.

![Can you eat SALTWATER CATFISH? [Catch, Clean, Cook]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/SY9PDPfJ-zg/mqdefault.jpg)
I am glad to see this. We might give them a try if we catch some on vacation that is coming soon. I have heard they are okay to eat, but have never caught a large enough one to try it.
That chef proudmore blackened redfish magic is gold!! Actually used it last night on some salmon lol it’s a go-to
Great video thanks jc
Can't go wrong with blackened sailcat...yummy
Nice one JC! Both looked really tasty - good job it's lunchtime here, but no Catfish! Talking of which, with you filleting & cooking Fish, where was your lovely Cat? (Forget his name). Stay safe & well, Dave.
I will definitely try catfish. I'm from Hungary and our traditional fish is carp. We make soup and fried them up. We also eat pike, spinners etc lol
I've commented to this channel before how good channel cats are, harder to clean, but well worth it!
I meant sail cats, not channel, my bad
I’ve tried before not bad but you must get the bloodline out for sure like you said. Good vid bro!
When are you gonna do a catch and cook on the hardhead catfish, Rad? We want to see you eat them and what you think of them. Me, I had them deep fried before.
Looking good 🐠🌮
They taste much better fried. I caught a 6.67 lbs sailcat and ate it. It did have a few worms but I cut them out by making fish nuggets and fried them in House Autry. Really good and better than freshwater cats.
Thanks for clarifying the weight to the nearest hundredth of a pound
@@anthonysokolov7610 If people like me didn't post stuff like this. You might struggle to find an outlet to display your douchebaggery. So from the heart of my bottom. You are very welcome.
I know now that you have a digital scale
Me too
@@rslack78 Legendary response you just gained a subscriber
Great video. I moved down here two years ago from Nashville Tennessee. I have caught a few catfish off the Manatee river but didn't keep them . Look forward to catching some cats and eatin em lol
I ate a couple of hardhead cats before and they're not too bad if you fillet the skins out and remove all of the bloodlines out and soak them in vinegar and water solutions for a couple of hours and then deep fry them. My dog loves them!
@@grandwonder5858 cool glad the dog enjoys them to.
I put my fish in a trash bag too to keep the cooler cleaner. Once home just dump the sail cat out of the bag onto the driveway and blast the slime off with a garden hose. Now they are ready to clean. Excellent fried, same texture as freshwater catfish.
Hey JC, I think you need a new frypan. your pan looks warped. That fish looks tasty.
Me and my friend caught one Tuesday when we was leaving Sebastian and it was huge but we threw it back because of the stereotype of catfish not being good wish we kept it now 😭 good video once again
I'm in Melbourne bud. Ever want to get together and throw some line let me know
JC is low key showing people how to cook high dollar meals. Add some asparagus and yellow rice to either cooked way and you got a great meal.
You should try to top water plugs. You would be amazed that sailcats readily go after those things
JC buy some new frying pans! Great video 👍
I can vouch that they're good, people kept acting like they were bad but most folks just like to talk crap. Cooked two of them and they were great.
Time for a new pan JC. Too many scratches. Cast iron. Looks delicious JC.
That’s good Tarpon bait too
I was told if you put those cats in a bucket of salt water and ice when you catch them that slim will be gone by the time you get to clean them that slime will be gone. Great Video..
I have never even thought about eating those slimy boogery fish. Cool to see the way to cook them though
Looks good JC BUT you need to be careful when frying food. Make sure you drop food in the pan AWAY FROM YOU. So this way you don't get splash burns.
Do you not bleed them first? Also I cut the barbs off when cleaning/washing the slime. When they are this size as well, they have a decent nugget of belly meat
Hay jc what rod are you using thanks
After the floods we catch about 30 a night as a By catch. I fillet them and cook them for my 3 Dogs, they growl at each other while scoffing them Down.
Try breading them with Louisiana fish fry, then cooking them in Olive Oil next go around!
Also i would highly suggest as soon as you land the fish wack the catfish on the head with a axe handle, then cut the spines off with side cutters and throw the spines in the fire or straight in the water. Then Dump the catish in your esky or Bag. These spines have barbs on them same as sting ray barbs and are designed to go in and stay in while adding toxic slime to your Wound...Ouch ! be warned folks.
I’ve tried one hard head before, it’s pretty good and not fishy tasting
Is hard head cat fish any different from the top sail cat fish
Fried gaff is amazing. Its has no fishy taste . Its a hidden gem
I tried a 6 pounder and it had worms. My 3 cats and 2 dogs snubbed their noses at it and that's never happened before. I tried it fried and baked with minimum seasoning, for a more natural flavor. The texture was a little weird and the flavor wasn't great. I'd give it a 2 out of 10. Maybe a smaller one is better...
We eat them sail cats fried all the time. Good stuff for sure
jc put the filet shin side up on wax paper in the frezzer for 15 /20 mint. and the red meat & fat will rise to the top cuts off better save the skull put in ant bed when clean it will have a crufix on the in side bone
They are good, as good as fresh water Catfish if not better.
Would those eggs make good bait? Grandma Suzie here. Keep reelin’!
Exactly what I was thinking!
Great minds think alike, I guess.
Keep in mind that some restaurants charge up to $18 for just to small cat fish fillets!
Probably pond raised Swai.
👍👍
My buddy cleaned and fried-up a big Sail Cat last year.
The flesh was white and firm, but the thought of putting that thing is my mouth was nauseating.
Better tasting than freshwater cat
What reel is that
RUNCL Titan amzn.to/3zWAMv1
I was wondering are these venomous?
The fins are
You should get some silicone utensils for your pans man. You’ll ruin the non-stick using metal
Now do hardheads!
Pour salt on them the slime comes right off , they taste as good as fresh water cats ,
We always called sail cats "turd hustlers"
You ever get stung by a saltwater catfish , eating it will be the last thing on your mind. Nothing like a sting from a freshwatwr catfish
Put lime juice on the fish, SLIME gone. Now clean.
i ate them before theyre good tablefare the best part you didnt get skunked you got fish on the table today better luck next time its not the best eating fish but if you chuunk them or strip them works better with seasoned corn flour give it a shot or you can get the cheap fish fry from the market woks miracles
Catfish always fried as nuggetss filets and on the bones. Never the way a Karen would eat. lol
Fried Gafftop is the ONLY way to make it period, it is very good.And hard heads are terrible.
I thought catfish were a rubbish feed .
Despite not having arms, my grandmother cuts better than him using her feet.
Sailcats are not to bad to eat hard heads got pass on them
You want to catch a pompano, use those eggs
First thing I thought when I saw those eggs was bait… you could salt them and they’d keep for a good long time…
