Catfish is a GREAT National Dish, and one which we should be proud of. Were it not for the availability catfish, a lot of our country, especially the east coast, would never have supported the survival of our early colonial and post-colonial families. Any collared greens on that menu? Got to go back and check. I'm getting hungry!

Probably need some elderberry wine right about now, too.

One more point about catfish, if I may be allowed:

Were it not for the abundance of catfish on the east coast, I doubt that the great Iroquois Nation would have developed as well as it did, and this, if the stories are true, would have negatively impacted our Founding Fathers' construction of our own Declaration of Independence, and various principles of our nationhood.

Please pass the grits.
