Black and Brown BULLHEADS{anyone ever ate} - muddy_waters32 - 12-24-2011
They are not yellow bellied like polliwogs, and they are of a good size, 3 n 4 pound chunks easy. im catching a crap load of these in my lake, iv heard that they taste good if caught in clear water, and its a pretty clear lake.
so im wondering who else has ate these and if they are good to eat? thanks!
keep on fishin!!!!!!!!!

Im going too be honest i have ate them. It wasnt of my choosing, you buy farm raised fillets
here in Louisiana, you really dont know what your getting. the distinct taste of mud has
dubbed them (mud cats). Tastes nearly similar too belly meat. You can cut down on the
muddy/fishy taste with mustard, roll the fillets in mustard before you bread and fry them.
I have been reading about people using 6-12 inch. bullheads for catching flatheads. Seeing
as minnows,brim,perch, die so quick being hooked live i may try a bullhead. I know they
will swim for you all night, as live bait. If this goes well, i have a 150g. stock tank i may just
stock with small bait bullheads.
