"You don't want the smell"
Me who guts fish outside:

[calebhyatt]

Catfish have a big belly filet, it is easier to cut than the others, is just as delicious if not more, and is almost the size of a third filet. Definitely worth taking 😁

[lordcentsamile]

The belly meat he threw away is some of the best meat on the catfish!

[IncrediGeorge]

You call that garbage? I'd like to invite you to Nigeria. Have a taste of our catfish pepper soup or barbecued catfish. Your life would never remain the same again

[spinz]

Someone who throws out half of the fish, still has a lot to learn.

[nirmalsuki]

I am thinking of submitting an application for the termination of his Asian card for throwing away a majority of the fish

[_soothsayer_]

ill be sure to keep this in mind if i ever get catfished

[amarukrosis]

This is the first time I've ever heard someone say catfish are an invasive species. News to me.

[Billyblueheart]

This dude cleans catfish like he’s never been to a family reunion before. When you’ve got a hundred in the cooler, that dainty stuff will make grandma drop her dentures.

[andrewparnell]

Depending on your location they are not a invasive species.

[miebiwilliams]

Lol..that's not garbage... that'll make for a tasty peppersoup

[GreatSuccessSolutions]

Not Garbage, that is great composting material! Get with the program!

[vzvp]

"This is garbage" *tosses whole half of catfish away*

*My aunt Mae processed to walk you out to the curb*

Definitely tell a city boy. Belly meat of a cat is fine. Guts really aren't that bad for the most part especially if it's a fresh catch.

[wafimarzuki]

In my country, we fried it and eat it with rice and gulai

[alvinkibe]

That is not garbage that is great fertilizer for the compost heap

[Gendonramsay]

There are native catfish in USA, not all of them are invasive

[jeremyr]

This is why I carve my cat fish outside

[kotaro]

Head and tail isn't garbage if you know what to do with it. Grandma used to make soup with the head and tail.

1. I wouldn't clean the fish in the house! 2. The belly meat is some of the best meat on a catfish! This dude must be one of those ivy league chefs! 😮
