Great information. One thing I do different is a little trick I and my wife learned from the Food Network channel.
Background, my wife would not eat a catfish to save her life, but because they were ugly, not due to taste (never had one).
I convinced her to allow me to soak the fish in milk, for about 15 minutes. No blood line trim, nothing extra except to fillet and skin the fish. Mix 1/2 flour and 1/2 corn meal, salt and pepper to taste, roll in this mixture, shallow fry on medium low heat until the flesh is opaque (not translucent).
Now she will not allow me to run out of catfish in the freezer. She can't get enough of them.
