Having visited and toured the catfish producing operations in Mississippi, I know what their fist are fed. If the Vietnamese producers expect their catfish products to sell well here they better address the issue of what their fish eat.

Regardless, we'll stick with the Mississippi products. I don't want to have to think about what my fish ate before reaching my table.

When imported catfish supplies are hurting American catfish farmers (which they are), it's time to start thinking America First.

I never buy farm catfish at the supermarket unless I know for sure it's American raised -- and I always ask.

Always stick to American harvested produce, as well, since this is just about the only country that does not use human fertilizer on its crops.

Yep, I love catfish, both US farm grown and wild natural caught but I would not consider eating catfish from Vietnam. I have a real good idea what they eat.

Catfish are omnivorous. A catfish caught in the Mississippi River has probably eaten everything from snails and leeches to rotted fruit to human body parts. One of the best catfish baits is spoiled chicken entrails.

No matter what they eat, they're delicious!
