The best catfish I've ever eaten were commercially-raised "pounders" in Mississippi (the catfish raising capital of the universe).
Restaurants there bread them in cornmeal and deep fry them whole. Then serve them piled high in "AYCE" baskets with fries and hush puppies. In those days I could eat three or maybe three and a half of them if I went easy on the fries. Those cats would run about six to eight ounces cleaned, headless, and cooked. Just about a foot long and as sweet as bluegill. The baskets, with five or six fish in them, were golden mounds of deliciousness.
