Are saltwater catfish good to eat?

Well it depends cause some fish carry diasease and i dont think its really sanatary but if you wash it and shower it with lemon and sesonin i dont see why not. hope it helped -kinaloveangel

In my opinion, saltwater catfish are fine to eat. As long as any catfish you catch is properly cleaned and sanitized, then they are fine to eat.

I eat them and enjoy them. I bake them whole in the oven on 400 degrees for about 30 minutes and enjoy my fresh catch.

Ok those answers were pretty stupid. Honestly I hook them all the time in the Tampa Bay. I throw them back due to the fact that they taste aweful and cannot be used as chum considering their spines give a reaction of a mild hallucinagen. Not downing the mexicans over here but they will take them if I catch them. I’m assuming they have a taste for them. I really dont know because I do not speak Spanish. I’m assumning if you Have to eat them, then eat them. Otherwise, just go to a freshwater pond at night and use a nightcrawler. Your bound to catch freshwater catfish all night.

I’d suggest not eating catfish at all. They belong in a fish tank or in the wild, not in your stomach.
