Alright, so you wanna know about them bullhead catfish for sale, huh? Well, lemme tell ya, I’ve seen a thing or two about these critters. Don’t go thinkin’ I’m some fancy expert, but I know what’s what when it comes to fishin’ and eatin’.
First off, you gotta know there’s different kinds of these bullhead catfish. Some folks call ’em by fancy names, like that “Ameiurus” somethin’ or other. But to me, they’re just bullheads, plain and simple. You got yer black ones, maybe some brown ones, and I even heard tell of some yellow fellas. They all kinda look the same to me, though, with that big ol’ head and them whisker things.
Now, where can you get yer hands on these bullhead catfish? Well, that depends on what you’re lookin’ for. You want live ones? I seen some folks sellin’ ’em online, little bitty fellas, maybe two or three inches long. Said they’re good for aquariums or ponds. Cute little things, I guess, if you’re into that sort of thing. But me, I like ’em a bit bigger, ready for the fryin’ pan.
- You can find them little fellas online.
- Some folks sell them at farms too big enough to eat.
- And if you’re lucky, you can catch your own in a river or lake.
If you wanna buy ’em already cleaned and ready to cook, you can find frozen catfish fillets at the store. They say they freeze ’em up real quick to keep ’em fresh. I ain’t never tried them frozen ones myself, though. I like my fish fresh, straight outta the water if I can get it.
Speakin’ of fresh, you can sometimes find folks sellin’ live bullhead catfish at fish markets or even on them online auction sites. I seen a fella once tryin’ to trade a big ol’ albino bullhead, said it was over a foot long! Guess it was too big for his fish tank or somethin’. Folks are always tryin’ to get rid of fish that get too big, you know. They don’t realize how tasty them big ones can be.
Now, if you’re gonna buy bullhead catfish online, make sure you’re gettin’ a good deal. Some folks try to charge you an arm and a leg for these fish, but they ain’t worth that much. And make sure they’re deliverin’ ’em fresh, too. Nobody wants a stinky fish. You want to get them delivered from the dock right to your door.
Catchin’ your own bullhead catfish is the best way to go, if you ask me. Find yourself a nice river or lake, get yourself some bait, and cast a line. They say them bullheads like corn, but I always had good luck with worms. You gotta be careful when you’re handlin’ ’em, though. They got them sharp spines on their fins, and they can sting ya good. I got stung once, and it hurt like the dickens. My hand swelled up like a balloon, and I had to go see the doctor. He gave me some pills, and it went away after a few days, but I learned my lesson.
Bullhead catfish ain’t the prettiest fish in the world, but they sure are tasty. They got a nice, mild flavor, and they cook up real good. You can fry ’em, bake ’em, grill ’em, whatever you like. I like to fry mine up with some cornmeal and spices. Nothin’ better than a plate of fried catfish with some hushpuppies and coleslaw.
So, there you have it. Everything I know about bullhead catfish for sale. Whether you’re buyin’ ’em live, frozen, or catchin’ ’em yourself, just make sure you’re gettin’ a good fish and cookin’ it up right. And don’t forget they don’t live forever, only about five years, so get to eatin’!
