That's a great story and rings very true. Not a lot of native Utahns have tried much outside of trout, especially the older generation, and many have never eaten catfish. I was fortunate enough to grow up in a family that fished for many different species. Mostly trout, but Willard crappie and cats (before shad), Pineview crappie and bullheads, Bear River catfish trips, smallmouth bass at Pineview and Flaming Gorge. We kept and ate all types. My wife's family had never eaten much fish before I married into the family. But I have them over a couple of times every year for a fish fry. They always ask what kind of fish, but never hesitate to try anything and everything. Nothing is ever left over.
