Your friend told you a wives tail. Catfish are excellent, I catch them out of some pretty gross water (Bear River, Cutler), and they are delicious. Some people just have no idea how to cook fish/game. I do prefer to soak my catfish fillets in salt water for one day before cooking. I have heard the same silly rumor about ducks tasting like mud. You just need to get some good recipes, and you are set!
