You don’t want to know how to clean one, trust me.

A new way to clean catfish has been shown me that works very well, since I don’t eat the belly flap.

Don’t skin or gut the critter. Fillet it like a bass, without cutting the fillet loose from the tail. You then can run a sharp flexible blade between the flesh and skin and presto! Catfish fillet. Guts are still in the belly, protected by the ribcage, also never opened.
