TD, I make fish food for a living. I know you are right. The food I make has sardine, anchovie, herring, squid, blood meal, feather meal, and the smelliest of it all fish oil. It is a very intense diet both in nutrients and in smell. It is my opinion that farm raised fish are "fishier" than wild fish. Even planted fish that have been "wild" for a while will lose some of that taste. The feed we make is very healthy food for fish and they grow extreamly well, and very fast. But I do like wild fish better than farm raised. Ron

[#0000ff]As has been suggested, the "closed" environment of a commercial catfish raising operation is probably a lot nastier than even the worst spot you could ever find in Utah. And, because the farm raised cats are used to eating "processed" food, they are likely to root around in the stagnant muddy bottom looking for escaped morsels...and slurping up the "silt"...with all of the "used" catfish chow that settles to the bottom.[/#0000ff]
